12TH RUNNING OF BECKLEY
USA 100 SCHEDULED FOR
JULY
One of the most popular dirt rac-
ing events in the country will cele-
brate its 12th annual running Fl"i.
and Sat., July 26th and 27th, at
Beckley Motor Speedway, located in
Prosperity, W.Va.
Tom Broyles, committee chairman
of the BECKLEY USA 100, said
many of the nation's top late model
sportsman dirt track drivers are
expected to compete. =We are real
excited about this project. The win-
ner of this event will receive $10,000
for his efforts," he said. A total purse
of $30,000 is at stake that weekend
in a variety ofevents.
Broyles, a Bradley native, was
promoter of the event in 1983. That
year was an active one for Beckley
racing in that Larry Moore of Day-
ton, OH., won the race and earned
the grand prize of $20,000. Also, the
BECKLEY USA 100 was selected
the =best race on dirt" by Racing
News, a national racing publication
based in Charlotte, N.C. Over 800
tracks across the U.S. Competed for
this title.
"That's certainly something that
we bxe proud of," Broyles said. "That
is a recognition that allows the
BECKLEY USA 100 to speak for
itself," he added.
In making the announcement,
Broyles said JACK WILLIAMS
RACING of Bradley is the promoter
of this year's race. Coal operator
Jack Williams also fields late model
sportsmen cars for drivers John
Broyles and Joe Meadows. =This
event is independent and is not a
sanctioned W. VA. RACING SE-
RIES event," Broylas said. The
newly-formed WVRS is a state se-
lies involving Beckley Motor Speed-
way and Jackson County Speedway.
The BECKLEY USA 100 is con-
sidered among the major sporting
events in W.Va. In addition, it is one
of the highest-paying dirt track races
in the nation for late model drivers
on a 3/8 mile track.
=This race has generated so much
tradition over the years," said
Broyles. =Ten thousand dollars to
the winner will certainly attract a
quality field of cars for a show that
our community deserves to enjoy,
because we are proud of BECKLEY
USA and this is our our recognition
of our city and its people," Broyles
added.
