Hinchliffe news from NJ.Com. 

The organizers of the Hinchliffe Stadium Racing Expo, a group dedicated to midget car racing, this past weekend held their first event since the stadium underwent a $109 million renovation.m More of the story - https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/paterson-press/2024/11/12/expo-brings-old-midget-cars-back-to-hinchliffe-stadium/76200675007/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1EmgnEIGRVoviZAKRIBpKRFRPcS6CxyYdxn46CdO-VoONO8PuhFiHMH7c_aem_-skCC84B6uPJeqelsHeiBg

One of the pictures from the Article, that's Keith Majka behind the wheel. Several more photos in the article.

With as much as we have always helped get the word out for all Hinchcliffe gatherings in the past, it looks like this time around it must have been for Facebook members only.

All 100 of them…looks like it would have been an interesting event if a person lived nearby.

Was quite surprised to see it in AARN this week. Had no idea it was going on. Oh well.

In addition to help getting the word out about upcoming events (whenever asked), we also took the time to do photo recaps, thinking that it might help motivate those who missed it that time around, to consider attending future Hinchcliffe events.  Looks like a lot has changed at Hinchcliffe (not sure if it changed $109 million or not...) but here is what some of the past (very enjoyable) events were like:

I remembered that you took the #x3 up there a while ago, but didn't think it was 14 years ago!!!

(It's in one of the pictures from the 2010 picture recap.)

Good friend of The Vault Tommy Kosch was there that day too with his #1 Micro.

I was there for a few of the events and that was all pre-2011. Since I moved out of Jersey after that. It was always fun and I felt fortunate to be allowed in a place that was basically condemned. I knew real racing would never come back. Due to noise, no pits and no parking. Would have been cool to host TQ, legend and microstock races there. Have slingshots and other small car classes visit.

I wish it was not kept a secret. I was there before and would have loved to see the place restored.
