Bradford, Vt. January 7, 2008.

The Bear Ridge Speedway teams up with RPM – Rick’s Performance & Machining for the 2008 racing season, bringing the crate engine program to the next level at the Ridge.

In a continued effort to make racing more affordable, technical procedures more enforceable, and overall improvement to the weekly racing program at the Ridge, Promoter/Owner C.V. “Butch” Elms has met with Rick Paya owner of RPM Performance & Machining, and the two have agreed to work together beginning this season in an effort to bring the crate motor program to the next level at the Ridge. All crate motors will be purchased thru RPM, which guarantee’s the competitor’s receipt of a “legal engine”. Any work needed on the engine will be done by RPM, which will guaranty the competitors continued use of a “legal engine.”

In 2000 RPM – Rick’s Performance & Machining was named one of the most successful machine shops in New England quoted by Circle Track. RPM has become one of the leading sources in the high performance industry, with a complete machine shop and the only facility in New England that houses an engine and chassis dyno.

Elms and Paya are anxious to begin working together to help make racing more affordable for the drivers and look forward to a long working relationship together. More information about the program is available thru the link on the www.bearridgespeedway.com web site.
