OSWEGO, NY (April 11, 2017) – The lid lifter for the northeast Small Block Supermodifieds is now just one month away as the Lighthouse Lanes Oswego Speedway Small Block Supermodified touring series heads to the Evans Mills Speedway for its ‘Spring Championship’ event on Saturday, May 12.

The 30-lap special for the Small Block Supers will officially open the 2018 SBS season in Central New York ahead of Open Practice at Oswego Speedway one week later followed by the track’s 68th Annual Opening Day on Saturday, May 26 featuring the Tony White Memorial 35.

Next month’s event will mark the second appearance by the tour at the Evans Mills Speedway following an entertaining inaugural ‘Fall Brawl 50’ which brought nearly 25 cars to the North Country oval in the series’ first appearance at ‘The Mills.’ 2017 Oswego Speedway SBS track champion Dave Cliff was victorious with Mike Bruce, Jon Tesoriero, Anthony Losurdo and Brad Haynes filling in the remainder of the top five.

Four out of the five top five finishers from last September’s event are expected to be in attendance on May 12 along with the remainder of the top ten which included Rich Petrucco, Jack Patrick, Dalton Doyle, Tim Proud and Cameron Rowe.

Several other Oswego Speedway SBS regulars and rookies also plan to invade Jefferson County including Barry Kingsley, Cameron Black, Rob Pullen, Greg O’Connor, rookies Steve Flack, Joshua Sokolic and Tyler Henry, as well as Evans Mills track owner Vern LaFave.

Evans Mills Speedway pit gates will open at 3:30pm on Saturday, May 12 before hot laps get underway at 4:30pm. With a switch to Saturday night action in 2018, preliminary race action will get the green flag promptly at 6pm. The Mills Modified, Legends, Bandolero, Thunder Stock and Sport Compact divisions will join the SBS in action. More information is at EvansMillsSpeedway.com.

OSWEGO, NY (February 1, 2018) – After rain washed away plans for the maiden voyage of the Lighthouse Lanes SBS Series at Williamson’s Spencer Speedway last season, management of the tour in conjunction with John White at Spencer Speedway have penciled in a 2018 date set for Friday, June 29.

The Friday evening race at Spencer, just a 45 minute drive from Oswego down route 104, will set up the first double header Small Block Supermodified weekend in a handful of seasons, as the Oswego regulars who join the series will then return back to the Steel Palace on Saturday, June 30 for the track’s Independence Weekend Grand Prix special.

“Big thanks to John White for hooking us up with another date this June,” commented series president Mike Bruce. “The last time the Oswego Small Block Supers were at Spencer was probably over ten years ago with the NORA Tour. I’m excited about another chance to run at Spencer Speedway and looking forward to a big double header weekend for our class.”

It will be a ‘Friday Night Lights’ show at Spencer this June as pit gates will open at 4pm, general admission gates at 5:30pm, with hot laps at 6pm and racing getting the green flag at 7:15pm. Spencer Speedway’s 2018 schedule is still in the building stages, but the New York Super Stock Tour, Super Six and Grandpa Dog 4-Cylinder divisions are already set to join the SBS series as part of the action packed program.

Similar to the Lighthouse Lanes SBS Series event being held at Evans Mills Speedway on May 12, the race at Spencer Speedway will be a 30-lap contest paying $600 to the winner with a full purse to be announced.

Several of Oswego’s Small Block Super regulars have expressed interest in touring with the Lighthouse Lanes SBS Series in 2018 including Dave Cliff, Jack Patrick, Dalton Doyle, Chris Proud, Tim Proud, Greg O’Connor, Barry Kingsley, Cameron Rowe, Jesse Bearup, Mike Bruce, James Babcock, Rob Pullen, Cameron Black, and more. Newcomer Josh Sokolic will also join the tour for all of its 2018 events. Many more additions to the field are expected.
