Owego Bowling Tournament

The bowling tournament was a lot of fun and was won by Jerry Harman's team of professionals he brought in! LOL I just wanted to say a sincere thanks to everyone who helped! It was successful and certainly helped the track.

The people who did step forward and help were no surprise and are some of our truest friends and speedway supporters. The people that did not show were no surprise and very predictable.

It was great to see some formers riders there ... Norm Robinson, Pete Atwater, Chip Jagger, George Plew, Kelvin Herrala and Mike Jones all played.

I especially want to thank the Owego Bowl for offering the lanes at a discount and to Stefan Laessig, Don Oakden, George Lazor, Ed Peters and my Aunt Jane and Uncle David who all sent money in but could not be there. Jay Stalma was present but could bowl and also donated money over and above a one person fee. Jim Woloch and the band Hover also contributed. Steven Whitman, the quad rider who broke his collarbone at the end of the season also was present to support.

Thanks so much to all the teams...

A few months ago everyone in So Cal did this event and I am told it was a blast. We are looking to do a bowling tournament fund raiser for Champion Speedway on Jan 14 at the Owego Bowl if we can pull it all together quickly. It would be from 1pm to 3pm approx and we need to fill 24 four person teams. We already have 5-6 teams just from a few quick phone calls. The event is to raise funds to help us overcome the flood damage and get the doors back open this season. Teams will play at least twice and cost is $25.00 per person. Once we have enough support to where we know we are moving forward I will finalize details and let you know where to send checks. Please let us know now team names and who will be on your team. This should be a lot of fun.

Thanks, Jason
