The America On Wheels Museum was the site of the third annual Borgers Speedway awards banquet honoring the 2014 drivers and owners. The banquet was presented at the America On Wheels Museum in Allentown, Pa. which is a first class facility which houses a large collection of motor vehicles and displays. Auto racing has become a big part of America On Wheels which hosts the Dorney Park-Mahoning Valley Speedway reunion each November and various other racing displays and events.
On display throughout the museum were various race cars from Borgers Speedway featuring the 600 Asphalt Sprint of point champion Larry Hoagland owned by Fred Bittner. The Metz Rides 4 Rent TQ driven by Geoffrey Sutton stood beside the Hoagland-Bittner car.
The 2014 Slingshot of champion Taylor Eccles was on display along with the Slingshots of Johnny Bush and Joey Costello.
Karts of Liam O’Connor, Billy Proctor, and Tom Boyd were also on display with the MicroStock of Pappy Curnell.
Speedway owner Ruth Borger was in attendance and brought to tears as she entered the museum to find the golf cart of Glenn Borger with the American Flag that flies over his beloved speedway resting on his seat.
Prior to the awards ceremony a meal was served in the Hub Cap Café which is a replica of a 1950’s era soda fountain and catered by dickie’s Barbeque.
The event then moved to the conference center where promoter Bob Snyder welcomed the gathering with a moving tribute to speedway founder and owner Glenn Borger who passed away last November. Speedway operator Brendan O’Connor then took stage continuing the tribute to Glenn and discussed plans for the upcoming 2015 racing season. O’Connor then distributed awards to the 2014 Borgers point finishers and the OctoberFest 2014 winners.
