Winchester, IN (December 11, 2007) - The 2008 Winchester Speedway season will see a renewal of a quarter century tradition. Under the astute leadership of Bob McConnell, the Winchester Speedway Old-Timers Weekend was one of the real gems of the vintage open wheel community in years past, bringing historic cars and drivers each year to the famous High Banks for open wheel fans to see.

After an absence of a number of years, Winchester Speedway owner Charlie Shaw along with Champion Racing Association’s Glenn Luckett and RJ Scott, the promoters of Winchester Speedway, have decided to bring the event back on the 2008 schedule on Saturday and Sunday, September 27^th and 28^th in conjunction with a USAC National Sprint Car race on that Sunday. Sprint Car and Midget Magazine will be one of the sponsors for the event and longtime vintage racecar writer Bill Holder will serve as the event coordinator of the Old-Timers events that weekend.

"The first day of the event will be strictly a car display day with the cars available for close examination from 10am-to-5pm," remarked Holder. "The second day, the cars will again be on display except for track time following qualifications. It should be a thrill for the vintage participants being able to expose their cars on the track in front of a full house of fans. There is no additional charge for viewing the static display on either day."

Planning is also underway to have a number of the USAC Midget and Sprint Car drivers that ran at this historic track in earlier years as guest for that weekend. It should also be noted that there is another Indiana vintage show at Jungle Park in western Indiana on Saturday. Wouldn't it be a great fall Indiana weekend of vintage cars to make both of the events?
