By Steve Pados, Accord Media

Accord Speedway, coming off it's record breaking and very successsful "King of the Catskills" event held on September 28th, will spring back into action on October 13th as the final racing program of the season takes place at the quarter-mile Ulster County speedplant. The program will be the culmination of the remaining racing events that were curtailed back on September 22nd and September 28th, plus the "Wreckage in the Catskills" event that will feature 4, 6 and 8 cylinder Enduro racing and 4, 6, and 8 cylinder Demolition Derby action.

When 163 entries jammed the pit area for the "Midweek Madness Nationals" event back on September 22nd, track management knew it would take a perfect evening to remain ahead of the track curfew. With all racing classes on their A-Game, exciting action took place during the course of the evening but the track couldn't complete the tremendous invasion of motorcycles that entered the competition. The remaining Motorcycle classes to be run will open the daytime racing program on October 13th.

The three weekly racing divisions that didn't complete their racing events on September 28th will follow, as three feature events remain on that part of the racing schedule. The Heart Chevrolet Spec Sportsman will take to the track for their 20-lap feature with three laps already being scored in the books. Danny Cross from Stone Ridge, New York powered his way to the front at the start of the event as he drove his Swelha Contracting machine into the lead at the outset and the race was curfewed after three laps. Harry Baldwin, who was making a return to racing action, took over his former mount and was in the runnerup role when the race was curfewed. The Camper's Barn Sportsman will follow with a 25-lap headliner and the Bryant's Towing Pure Stocks will battle it out in a 15-lap battle royal of their own.

Once the heldover events are completed, the Bryant's Towing "Wreckage in the Catskills" will take center stage for the remainder of the racing program. The 4, 6 and 8 cylinder Enduro racing will take over the speedway for their program and the curtain closer for the speedway will be the 4, 6 and 8 cylinder Demolition Derby as the last competitor remaining running will be crowned the champion.
