By Jim Majchrzak

Spring is here and the Super Short Track racing is ready to fire up the 2005 season. Many new faces along with the heroes of 2004 will be looking for the green.

Lake Erie Speedway, under the new leadership of Joe Lewandowski and team, welcomes the competitors of this sportsman modified series April 23 & 24th for the Spring Thaw 75 lap Sunday feature event. SST teams along with several other featured divisions will be welcome to practice beginning on Friday, April 22. SST Tech Inspector Dennis Murphy Jr. requests SST teams to prepare for pre-race tech at 9am Saturday morning prior to practice.

SST licenses will be available for processing the weekend of this inaugural Lake Erie Speedway event. All proceeds are directed toward the year end point fund and are anticipated to grow from $5000 in '04 to well over $8000 in cash prizes for '05.

Hoosier Tire East is back on board as the Official SST Series premier sponsor. The Hoosier 10-70 remains the official tire and will be required for all SST tour events. Rick Kluth of 2Kwik Chassis supports the series again with a donation of a modified chassis to one of the top 15 series participants.
