Like any bona fide classic, the Barbara Fritchie Classic has stood the test of time. Started in 1922, the Fritchie is held at The Great Frederick Fairgrounds and is the oldest running dirt track half mile in the country.

It’s a Fourth of July tradition in Frederick. This year we will be memorializing the great Al Wilcox*.

*Al Wilcox has been flagging races for over 42 years, and has been the starter for hundreds of AMA national events. As a motorcycle racer, Wilcox has won many national level races, and numerous regional TT, flat track, and hare-scramble championships. Wilcox retired from active racing in the early 60s as his flagging duties increased. Wilcox has become a well-known known as much for his clockwork-like starts along with his multi-colored starter outfits. Wilcox earned his moniker “Airborne Al” for his unique checkered flagging style while jumping 2-feet in the air for a race winner. Wilcox is an honorary life member of MARRC since 1983 when the club first started.

Al won the Barbara Fritchie Classic in 1957

RIP Al Wilcox

Like any bona fide classic, the Fritchie has stood the test of time. The Fritchie is held at The Great Frederick Fairgrounds.
It is the oldest running half mile in the country.

It’s a Fourth of July tradition in Frederick. But when it started, the race wasn’t even held on the Fourth. The Fritchie ran Memorial Day. And back then, it was called the Delphey Brothers Classic, promoted by J. Paul and Chester Delphey.
