From Dave Westerman
After many months of inactivity, Bronson Speedway finally saw race cars
turning laps as several drivers took advantage of a special practice
session held on the 4th of July Monday.
Around 14 race teams took advantage of the opportunity to check
out the facility and get a few laps. Open Wheel Modifieds, Legend
Cars, Pure Stock and Thunder Stock classes were represented and
even a Figure 8 car was in attendance. The new ownership was
pleased with the turnout on what obviously was both short notice
and a holiday as well. What may have been even more surprising
was a rather large turnout of fans who showed up to view the action
for free from the grandstands.
A second open practice is scheduled for this coming Sunday,
July 10th. Pitgates will open at 1PM with practice from 3-7PM.
All cars must go through a safety technical inspection before
going on the speedway. The schedule for the remainder of 2011,
classes that will be running, and rules will be unveiled at this
practice. Bronson Speedway's new Race Director and Tech
Inspector will be available to speak with during this session as well.
Once again, the grandstands will be open free of charge to the
public.
Three sets of rules have already been drawn up for competing
classes and all rules for all classes will be available by the July 10th
practice. Bronson Speedway's new website is nearly complete and
rules will be posted there as well.
Bronson Speedway looks forward to seeing even more cars at
the practice this Sunday.
