SKYVIEW DRAGS CELEBRATES THEIR SEVENTH COMPLETE DRAG RACING SEASON WITH ITS 2011 AWARDS BANQUET!

On a cold and blustery evening, over 200 Skyview Drags racers and their families gathered together to celebrate the highly successful 2011 drag racing season. This year’s racing banquet was held on Saturday, January 14, 2012 at The McKinley in Endicott, NY. Doors opened at 6 PM and the first festivities began at 6:30 PM with a slide show commemorating Team Skyview and their third place finish at the IHRA Division 3 Bracket Finals. This was the track’s highest finish ever at the Bracket Finals held at Pittsburgh Raceway Park this past September. After dinner service was finished, the racers settled in for the award presentations.

John Hummel from Northeast Open Comp was on hand to present their index class awards. Third place went to Gary Pascucci from Endicott, NY. The Runner-Up award was presented to Dave East. And taking home the Northeast Open Comp Championship in its inaugural season was Kenneth Roberts from Ulster, PA. Roberts also races in the Street Money class and was a past track champion in that class. Roberts dedicated his 2011 racing season to his dear friend Keith Price from Vestal, NY who passed away unexpectedly in December 2011.

Skyview Drags fielded its largest Junior Dragster class in the track’s history. In recognition of this, awards were given out to the Top 20 points contenders. Finishing in fifth place was Jared Baker from Newfield, NY. In fourth place was Kimberly Klein from Livingston Manor, NY. Finishing in third place was Haley Teed from Friendsville, PA. The Runner-Up award was presented to Ron Klein Jr. from Livingston Manor, NY. The 2011 Junior Dragster Track Champion was Randi Teed from Friendsville, PA. Miss Teed was the 2010 Junior Dragster Rookie of the Year. She also represented Team Skyview at the 2011 Bracket Finals in the IHRA Division 3 Junior Dragster Race of Champions.

SKYVIEW DRAGS TO RAFFLE OFF A SPECIAL SEASON PASS AT THEIR 2011 RACING BANQUET!

families will gather together with the track owner, operator, and Skyview employees
at The McKinley in Endicott, NY to celebrate their great accomplishments during
the 2011 racing season.

“This year we have something extra special for our racers,”
says track director Amy Culver. “We will be raffling off a season pass for
2012. To be eligible, the racer must have gone to the 2011 Bracket Finals with
Team Skyview and must be present at the banquet in order to win. The season
pass is only good for the driver who wins it – it cannot be sold or given to
anyone else. The season pass is good only for regular Skyview races during our
2012 race season. No special events like the Pro-Am are included with this pass.”

Skyview Drags mourns the loss of sportsman racer Keith Price!

It is with great sorrow that we learned of the death of
Keith Price, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 53 on December 4, 2011.
Keith loved drag racing and could be seen at the track running his Vega for
many years.

Keith is survived by his loving wife, Patty, and children,
Keith, Jr. (Sara), Anna and Joseph.

Keith was a 25 year employee with the Vestal Central School
District and a Vestal High School Alumni. Keith was devoted to his family and
friends and was known to all as a generous and selfless person who would do
anything for anyone in need. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

We will never forget his infectious smile, his engaging
laugh, his generous spirit, or his love for the sport of drag racing. God speed
Keith – Green lights all the way dear friend!
