    The History of Oswego Speedway & Supermodifieds

    The Oswego Speedway, located in Oswego New York, was built in 1951 when original owners Harry, George and William Caruso converted the one time Wine Creek Horse Track into a 3/8 mile dirt auto racing facility. The track was paved during 1952 and remained a 3/8 mile track until 1961 when it was enlarged to its current 5/8 mile size. The Oswego Speedway has been a continuously run weekly race track since it opened in August of 1951.

    And joining us tonight is Camden Proud – Public Relations Director – from Oswego Speedway to talk to us about its history, importance and evolution in the world of Motorsports and especially, Supermodified racing. Along with one of our regular co-hosts on Break/Fix, Mountain Man Dan, who heads up our “Mountain View” division – all things dirt, off-road, trucks and bikes! We also have a special guest with us as well. Let’s welcome back Kip Zeiter from the IMRRC, who’s been going to events at Oswego for over 50 years!
