Doubleheader Weekend Will Conclude 2007 Season For Ryan Litt

Mother Nature decided to intervene with the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Super Sprints event at Dixie Motor Speedway last week, but Ryan Litt and the #07 BS&B Radiator, OTC-SPX Tools crew are determined to finish the 2007 season on the race track. 

The weekend will get underway at the team's home track – Delaware Speedway – this Friday night, September 28.  The ISMA Supermodified tour will be making another visit to the ½ mile track located just outside London, Ontario, after a successful comeback last season which had been more than 20 years in the making.  A very large crowd witnessed the event last September, but unfortunately Ryan was not able to perform very well in front of his home fans that night, as his ride for the night suffered some mechanical issues. 

The car, owned by long-time Supermodified owner Dave Lair, was making its return to competition that night, after suffering extensive damage the previous season, and some of the kinks were not worked out at the time.  This time around, the car has a handful of races under it's belt, including an event in June at Toledo with Ryan behind the wheel, and a 7^th place in the prestigious Oswego International Classic 200 just a few weeks ago with Bobby Haynes, Jr. at the controls. 

Ryan and "The LairJet" were able to get some laps in at Delaware last week in a test session which also included full time ISMA competitor and fellow London-area open wheel driver Mark Sammut.  Ryan was able to run comparable lap times to Sammut – who is currently 3^rd in the points on the ISMA circuit – in the test session, and feels confident that he will be able to put in a good showing at Delaware on Friday night.

After the Delaware event, the team will make its way to the Berlin Raceway in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to compete in a very special event on Saturday night.  The event will feature 3 open wheel divisions – the ISMA Supermodifieds, AVSS Sprint Cars, and USAC Regional Midgets.  Ryan will be competing in 2 of these 3 divisions, as he will be back in action in the LairJet, and also competing in the AVSS portion of the event in the family-owned sprint car.  Ryan has tasted success at Berlin before in the sprint car, including a feature win there last season, and hopes to transfer what he has learned about the track over to the Supermodified division.
