Union County Closed
As of July 30, 2010, Union County Speedway in Liberty, Indiana has closed for the remainder of the 2010 season. Promoter Billy Daniels cited that low attendance and rising cost has forced him to close. Hopefully the economy in their area can rebound to where he can reopen next year. Billy would like to thank everyone for their support in the past.

"WELCOME TO DARF COUNTRY"
Once again this year DARF has a great line-up of dates at all of the local Tracks.
First off DARF needs to thank all of the Tracks & Promoters for supporting our Club & it's Members. They are the ones that make this happen.
Second, before you head out to the track, check your DARF cards to make sure they are current, Tracks will not honor cards that have expired.
Third, tell a friend or family member about what DARF has to offer them, just maybe you can get them to become members also. Check out the DARF dates line up here on the website & start making plans for your summer at the Tracks.
Fourth, should you experience any problems at a DARF event, rather than create a scene, please contact the DARF representative present at the event so the proper actions can be taken. Remember the tracks are honoring the club with DARF dates. Thank them & tell them how much we appreciate them.

Schrader's K C Raceway Special Dedication Ceremonies
Schrader's K C Raceway season opener on April 10th will be highlighted with a special dedication ceremonies, honoring racing families from the past. Not only will some of K C's history be revisited to the times when K C was known as Atomic Speedway, but several of the track's most notable families will be honored. The families will each be honored with the naming of areas of the grandstand in their families name. To be honored with a bleacher section in their name will be Dean Knittle, Sam Erwin, Junior Spencer, Charlie McCann, Wayne McGuire, Delmas Conley, Audie Swartz, Merle & Larry Williams, Dan Reno, Bud & Joe Frazier and The Smalley Family. Each of the families intend to have someone represent them on this special night.
These honors is just another way that Jeff & Vicki Schrader & their staff is making K C a family & community oriented track. These families being honored have put countless years into racing at Atomic & now K C Raceway as these families are household names around the Chillicothe & southeastern Ohio area. Without the dedication of families like these it is almost impossible for any track to survive.
DARF would like to send our congratulations to these families on their honors.

DARF would like to thank everyone who participated in the Kids Car Show this year. We had a very good turnout of people & a nice variety of cars & displays. The money from this show means alot to these kids when they might need a winter coat, a pair of shoes, toys or whatever else they need to get by. We know this show has always been titled Toys for Kids, but there is way more than that for what this money goes towards. Thanks again to all the teams who brought their cars, to the tracks for their booths & to all the ones that brought their displays to show. And especially to all the fans for their support.

Appeals Court rules in favor of 35 Raceway Park against it's neighbors.
Tony & Melissa Boetcher at 35 Raceway Park had been taken to court by a few of their neighbors to try & close down the race track. The Appeals Court was quoted as saying that the residents exaggerated the degree of harm the race track caused them. That the race track was beneficial to the community at large in terms of part time jobs, a convenient location & prize money for racers. Everyone at DARF sends their congratulations.
