2002
Track Champions
Saturday November 16, 2002 was the annual Speedway 95 banquet and awards night. This year the Elk's Lodge hosted the event with Mainely Country performing for everyone afterwards.Congratulations go out to all the teams and drivers this year, each year they seem to put more and more work into the cars. They begin in the winter preparing these cars for the upcoming summer, countless hours are put into many of them that the average person wouldn't realize is done.
Many of the points battles went down to the last weeks and a few right down to the wire, congratulation to those teams that held on and earned the titles this year.

| SPEEDWAY 95 REVAMPS RULES, PAYOFFS FOR 2003 RACING SEASON
In a move designed to bring low cost racing
back to the Saturday night program, Speedway 95 management has announced
new rules for the 2003 season it hopes will bring more drivers and fans
to the track. Track co-owner Del Merritt announced at the annual Awards
and Recognition Banquet held on Saturday November 16, that the former Super
Street Division, once one of the most popular and competitive divisions
at the track, will be reconfigured to allow what were formerly Strictly
Street cars to compete at the level they were being built for. The rules
for the new Super Street class are almost identical to the 2002 Strictly
Street rules. Former Super Street cars will either move up into the Limited
Sportsman division, or run under the revamped rules for the Super Street
division. Replacing the former Strictly Street cars will be a clone of
the Wednesday night Big Enduro class, the only additional requirement for
Saturday night competition being the installation of a four point roll
cage. Any cars now racing in the Wednesday night Big Enduro class would
only have to install the roll cage to be legal for competition. According
to Merritt, drivers and crews were building entry level street stocks that
cost in the $10,000 to $15,000 range, which was way above what the class
was intended for. The new Strictly Street class will see competitive cars
being built for less than $1000. Only minor changes were made to
the Pro Stock, Limited Sportsman and Sport-Four classes. The 4-cylinder
pick up class, new for 2002, is virtually unchanged. Rules for the Wednesday
night divisions also remain unchanged. Still to be determined is a revised
format for the Wednesday night show, which frequently ran over it's 2 hour
time limit during the 2002 season due to the large number of cars showing
up to compete each week.
