The International Motor Racing Research Center will present a special Center Conversation event on Saturday, May 11.
The discussion topic is centered around the history of the famed Oswego Speedway and the evolution of the unique car that races there — the supermodified.
The talk will be moderated by Roy Sova, who is beginning his 58th year announcing at the track, and Dick O’Brien, longtime PR director. Past and present drivers will also discuss their experiences racing at The Steel Palace, including Bentley Warren, Warren Coniam, Eddie and Brandon Bellinger, Alison Sload, Otto Sitterly, and others.
The legendary Purdy Deuce that competed at the Speedway from 1964-1974 — with 25 feature wins, a track championship and a victory in the 1969 International Classic — will be on display courtesy of Chris Purdy.
The Center will open for visitors at 9 a.m. on May 11, with the talk beginning at 1 p.m. (ET).
The event is free and open to the public.
The IMRRC is located at 610 South Decatur St. in Watkins Glen. Phone number is (607) 535-9044.
