“Dave MacLeod Memorial” – Western New York 360 Sprint Car Shoot-Out
With only a week left until the “Dave MacLeod Memorial” Western New York
360 Sprint Car Shoot-Out, things are really starting to take shape.
Sprint Cars have been absent from the Genesee County Fairgrounds for
over a decade and the August 25th event will bring sprint car racing
back to Genesee Speedway. A race of this magnitude will be a show to
remember.
Mike Lauterborn thought it would be fitting to name the trophy and event
after friend and sprint racer Dave MacLeod who past away this past year.
MacLeod raced all over New York and Ontario and was a friend to many and
competed as a racer and car owner with many of the racers that will take
part in the return of the sprints.
All of the touring sprint car clubs are off the night of the WNY 360
Shoot-Out which will bring in some of the most talented 360 Sprint Car
racers from New York, Ontario and maybe a couple of invaders from
Pennsylvania. Competitors from Southern Ontario Sprints, ASCS Patriots,
Empire Super Sprints, and the Humberstone Bi-Weekly program will all be
on hand.
The event will be a time trialed event with a scramble dash presented by
Pro-Syn Technologies. The winner of the Sprint Car event will cash in on
a $2,000 payday. The races will consist of (4) 8 lap heats, (2) 16 lap B
Features and (1) 32 lap A-Main. Each segment will total 32 Laps, The
famed number Dave MacLeod used for years.
Following the races Clor’s will be hosting a Chicken Barbeque until
Midnight.
