BERLIN RACEWAY SEPTEMBER 25-26 ISMA SHOW IS CANCELLED
By Carol D Haynes, ISMA PR
Oswego, NY – Word has been received from Berlin Raceway management that the upcoming
ISMA doubleheader will not take place on the 25th and 26th of September as printed on the 2009
schedule. Citing excessive rainouts and the rescheduling of events because of that weather, plus
financial constraints, ISMA was contacted as to the possibility of putting off the 2009 weekend
until 2010. According to ISMA president Howie Lane, a 2010 date has already been confirmed.
The following explanation appears on the Berlin Raceway website: “Attention Berlin Drivers,
Crews, and Fans: Due to the excessive number of rain-outs this season, the schedule has been
changed. There will be a driver mailer sent out to the drivers with these details and more in the
next couple days and it will also be posted on the website after it has been mailed.
“One change that you will see is the ISMA Super Modifieds have been removed from the
schedule. We did not feel that it was necessary to bring in a high-dollar traveling series when our
local drivers have not had many chances to race. ISMA has agreed to come back in 2010 instead
of this season.”
Due to the loss of these two shows, Howie Lane is presently pursuing other venues for a
possible new show to be added to the 2009 ISMA schedule. Details will be forthcoming if
something materializes. A reminder to all those who have made hotel reservations for the Berlin
show, that they should remember to cancel them soon.
