The FOAR SCORE club is the oldest active fan club in the United States providing an outlet for avid fans to help promote short track racing throughout the Western New York and Niagara Frontier region.
As part of the traditional FOAR SCORE nightly activities at the “Fans in the Stands 75,” 2 tickets for the 2017 67th Annual Race of Champions “250” Weekend at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, Pennsylvania and 2 tickets to the Thunder in the Hills “100” at Holland International Speedway will be given away to lucky winners.
“The Race of Champions Modified Series events are always outstanding events and truly bring our racing community together,” offered current FOAR SCORE Fan Club president, Bobby Woch. “We are proud that the Race of Champions has recognized the benefits that the Club can offer and look forward to working together to help drive the resurgence of short track racing in our region.”
FOAR SCORE is the oldest active auto racing fan club in the US. Established in 1948, in Wheatfield, NY, the FOAR SCORE Club was started as an organization for those who race or love racing. Founding members included Jimmy Canino, Ed Shaw, and Reg “Speed” McFee, who were well known East Coast competitors in big cars and midgets nearing the ends of their careers and Fred Allgeier and Ben Llewellyn. Another charter member, Russ Fleetwood, had participated in the 1934 Indianapolis 500 as a riding mechanic for “Wild Bill” Cummings, the man who went on to win Indy that year. FOAR SCORE was also instrumental in the formation of the National Fan Club Association which was based in Indianapolis, Indiana during the early 1950’s.
Since its founding, this organization of race drivers, crew members, officials and avid fans have promoted and supported racing though its regular meetings, newsletter, fund raisers, and presence at round tracks in Western New York, Northern Pennsylvania, and Southern Ontario. As a benevolent association, FOAR SCORE has provided monetary assistance for injured racers and their families, raised money for driver’s point funds at local tracks, and recognized accomplishments for athletes currently driving on local circuits, and honored lifetime achievements in auto racing via introduction into the FOAR SCORE Hall of Fame.
The Race of Champions is a sanctioning body presenting Modified and Stock Car racing on asphalt and dirt surfaces throughout the Northeast, with events in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The 67th annual “Race of Champions” weekend will take place in 2017 at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, PA on September 28, 29 and 30. It is the second longest consecutive auto-racing event in North America, second only to the Indianapolis 500.
