  • A night of racing in WV

    i visited a local track in WV last night. Ona speedway (they have a website too) and was surprised at what i saw.

    apparently a racer took over the track and re-opened it. surely they still have growing pains.

    the 4 OWM had strictly stock engines in them. it was painful to watch.

    the 3 hobbystocks were sportsman cars with stock bodies hung on them and huge HP engines........confuses me about the mods.

    a new v6 class that had 5 cars...............meh.

    what impressed me were the U-CARS. stock 4 cyl hondas, dodge neons etc which pays $150 to win. there were 27 of them! and they raced
    HARD!

    i didn't even stay for LM which probably would only be a few.

    is it the area or has this guy came up with a rules package to make it very affordable to race? the lowest class was the show.

    props to the track. i got there promptly at 7pm when racing was supposed to start. at 7:20 the announcer was still blah blah blah..........he is no announcer Dave! when i then notice the county EMT unit pulling into the infield. he then said we can go racing which they did. safety first.

    You were in the wrong territory my friend

    Ona Speedway (or whatever they are calling it nowadays) is the ONLY blacktop track in the entire state of West Virginia.Even with its Nascar heritage it probably isnt enough to support a weekly show in those parts.The best blacktop guys I know of that have come out of that state in recent times (Cale Conley and Travis Braden) ran up in Ohio or elsewhere.Im just curious,what kind of shape was the facility in ?

      The place was in good shape. better than many i have been to. Racing surface was a little rough but still 2 and sometime 3 wide racing.
