Wing Champ Racing Series Ready To Fly In 2018
Story By: JIM HILLIER SR. / WING CHAMP RACING SERIES – JOHNSTOWN, NY – The long wait is almost over for the four division 2018 Wing Champ Racing Series (WCRS) to get their racing schedule underway. Yes, there are major changes to the program this year with the addition of the three new divisions and the expansion of the series itself to other tracks. The WCRS founder Tom Varin felt it was time to expand to other racing venues to showcase the present and future stars of the WCRS. It is no longer a racing secret as the series is now considered the “Fastest Growing Racing Series in the Northeast”.
“We sent the request out to our Adult Wing Champ competitors seeking a drivers profile information to build a roster for the 2018 season. At every track that the series event goes to, we will recognize the driver, their home town, their home track and importantly their sponsors. Much to our surprise 32 drivers have responded to our request from New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Massachusettes and Connecticut. We feel that our first event could very well draw a field of fifty Adult Wing Champs.” stated Race Director Tom Varin.
