Racing Discussion / BUFFALO NEWS and LANCASTER SPEEDWAY

« on: July 04, 2019, 01:28:38 AM »

I have been as to make this post in Speaking for WNY Announcer Kenny Hangauer who does not have a computer to post on Race NY. Kenny as well as Larry Ott have had a deluge of Complaints about the Buffalo News lack of coverage at the recent huge show at Lancaster Speedway by News Racing Columnist LARRY OTT. COMPLAINTS SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO THE BUFFALO NEWS as Larry has seen his weekly stories greatly reduced. Larry was asked by the Buffalo News to cover the racing during that time period at Watkins Glen and could not be obviously at both place. So with his reduced options he had to cover and W G despite the resurgence of racing at the home track being Lancaster. On behalf of the the spoken for people, any Complaints should be sent to the Buffalo News Sports Department and not Larry Ott or Kenny Hangauer.

Racing Discussion / MAV TV and SPECTRUM IN Western NY

« on: April 09, 2018, 05:23:30 PM »

I just called MAV TVs Head Office today and inquired as to why Spectrum in does not carry MAV TV in the Buffalo and Western NY market. They told me "SPECTRUM SHOULD BE CARRYING THEIR PRODUCT IN THIS MARKET AREA" In other areas MAV TV is located on Ch 402 and it should be located there as reserved in WNY. They told me they will inquire as to why it is not being carried in WNY and they will let me know within 48 hrs.

WHEN THEY CALL I WILL PASS ALONG THEIR RESU;TS OF THEIR FINDINGS.

I WANT MY MAV TV!!!

Racing Discussion / TIM PACKMAN Returns to Lancaster National Speedway

« on: October 25, 2015, 08:09:40 PM »

As announced in Area Auto News, Tim Packman will return home to Lancaster to the position of Track President. Packman returns home after 15 years of living in Mooresville NC and working with NASCAR. Tim previously served LNS as Announcer and President of Stock Car Operations. Packman relates, "I fell in love with Lancaster when I was part of the team that promoted the 2014 US OPEN" He adds, " returning to Lancaster national speedway and dragway is a dream come true in many ways, during my entire time in North Carolina traveling the NASCAR circuit I always kept an eye on what was taking place at the track". Both the stock car and drag racing programs will not see any major changes in their respective leadership for 2016. John Nelson will return as the program director for Stock cars while, Sharon Hughes will remain the IHRA drag racing program director

Melissa MacGowan will continue to be part of the speedway management team in a reduced role.

On a personal note welcome back Tim, and the speedway will be in great hands, congratulations and welcome home.
