4 Champions were crowned at Randy’s Raceway on Tuesday.

Randy truly goes all out when he celebrates his season at the banquet each year. This year was no different. The sticker machine was running on overload as Mr. Haydt had a special sticker for every celebration possible. A word heard often on Tuesday “I am in sticker contention”

Randy created custom stickers to celebrate:

Feature Wins

Flagmen

Tech Inspectors

Camera Man

Facebook Guru

Top 3 in Points

Participation Stickers

Triple Crown Memorial Stickers

Sponsor Stickers

Stat Guy

Number Generator

Parts Supplier

We have many people to Thank & Appreciate for their efforts at Randy’s Raceway this season.

Timothy J. Bowers Jr / Little T’s Speedway – Tim goes over and above every year. This year at the banquet Tim provided every racer (20+) with a Stock Tyco Armature. Thank You Tim!

Jim LeVan / Each season Jim provides NASCAR Diecast for the door prize awards. Jim had several on the table for appreciation

Mike Feltenberger / Strapped-In TV Show – Mike brought several new T-Shirts to given out for door prizes

Bob Amore – In Bob’s Memory, Randy fired up the printer and ran off a set of bodies for each racer to take. This was a very emotional point of the banquet for those in attendance. Bob’s impact on the hobby continues to touch all of us.

Bill Decker – Billy donated a pile of parts this season for the Memorial Triple Crown Series. He built and tuned each car for the racer giveaways.

Hiram Durant – I am sure after this week, Hiram needs a new printer. The Sticker Man had it working OT this past week. Durant’s sponsorship of the use of the printer allows Randy to create some very cool stickers for all the racers pit boxes.

Fred McCullough – Freddy Mac helped created the NASCAR and Coupe bodies won in the Triple Crown Series. But, Over and Above Fred’s work which is second to none – Fred donated a completely new painted and decaled Coupe Body to every racer on the final night of Tri-Oval Coupe Racing. I believe that number was over 18 that night. Thank You FM for your continued support of Randy’s Raceway

Matt Light 2nd / Randy Jay Haydt 1st / Sheldon Hiester 3rd

Tom Wenner – Tom was the Triple Crown Series Sponsor. All of the money taken in for all 3 race events was paid back out to the drivers. Trophies for the Top 3 in points were sponsored by Wenner Media Group / Race Pro Weekly. The 3 TYCO 440×2 giveaway cars were provided by Tom as well.

Scott Bender – Scott sponsors the Christmas Photo Night By Scott Bender at Randy’s Raceway. Scott is an outstanding local racing photographer who covers racing action weekly at Grandview Speedway and other northeast racing tracks. Scott graciously donates autographed 8X10’s of the area drivers in competition for the event.

Randy Jay Haydt – I saved the best for last. Randy opens up his house for everyone from August to April every Tuesday night. He only asks for $1.00 to race. The fridge is always stocked with cold drinks. In March we get to drink green beer . He goes out of his way to help everyone at his track or their own track. Many of us have had Randy over to wire, fix or work on our own tracks. He rarely asks for anything & is always quick to volunteer help. On any Tuesday night you can find a ride or controller waiting for you. Thank You Randy for being you

Pizza was enjoyed by all of the racers after the awards.

Special Thanks to Helen Levan for delivering deviled eggs & Thank You to Deb Hiester for delivering brownies to the racers. All was very good and enjoyable by all.

Once a year Randy’s Raceway breaks out the Tyco Tractor Trailers for IROC Racing. They are used for special event racing only. With 20 racers in attendance, The decision was made to run the IROC Race with crash & burn rules. If the trailer detached from the cab, Your night was over in that lane.
