Calling 410 sprint car driver Gerard McIntyre, Jr., a local racer is a bit complicated. Though still hailing from New Oxford, the veteran driver has spent nearly all of the past few seasons making Port Royal Speedway his regular track. kAmx? a_ad[ |4x?EJC6 :?E6?5D E@ 6IA2?5 9:D :E:?6C2CJ H9:49 D9@F=5 :?4=F56 2 76H EC:AD 4=@D6C E@ 9@>6]k^AmkAm“%96C6 2C6 @?=J 2 4@FA=6 @7 E:>6D 5FC:?8 E96 J62C H96C6 !@CE #@J2=’D ?@E C24:?8 W2?5 {:?4@=?

It’s hard to believe that we have already reached Memorial Day weekend, otherwise known as the unofficial beginning of summer. For a lot of folks, this also marks the first opportunity for extended weekends, road trips, and vacations. I was able to get a week’s head start on everyone last weekend on the first of what I hope to be several track-chasing journeys this year. I hope you’ll indulge me as I tell you about the tracks and places I see throughout the summer.

When I think back to all the unfairness in my life, I often wonder why I never made it as a professional race car driver. A lack of talent, money, and opportunity head the list of reasons. My general mechanical ineptitude might have played a small role as well. kAmqFE x 36=:6G6 E96C6 :D 2 566A6C[ F?56C=J:?8 C62D@?

If you look at the roster of the East Coast Legends series, you’ll see a lot of drivers from the Adams-Hanover area. One of the most successful drivers in the division over the past two seasons is Logan Carbaugh. The Gettysburg native started out racing go-karts at Hunterstown and is now in his sixth year in a legends car. kAm“%9:D W=686?5DX :D E96 92C56DE 5:G:D:@?
