Bradford, Vt. April 20, 2008

Bear Ridge Speedway is undergoing its annual spring cleaning in preparation for opening day scheduled for Saturday May 10th.

Two weeks ago when we ventured up to the track we were greeted with a discouraging site of 2 plus feet of snow still on the ground in most places. What a difference a day makes or in this case two weeks as the track is dry the snow is all gone, except for the residual snow banks around, and the paint is flying.

The update to the configuration of the track has begun, with the “dreaded” jersey barriers finding new homes away from the inside edges of the track. Many a driver has complained of these over the past two years, so this year it was agreed to move them back out from the infield. This should improve the driver’s visibility and will hopefully make for better racing action at the Ridge.

Paint is as always at the beginning of the season, being reapplied to as many surfaces as we can get done in the next 3 weeks and several employees and fans are showing up to help get as much done as possible before the doors officials swing open on the 2008, 41^st consecutive racing season at the Ridge.

The next car show will be on Saturday May 3^rd at the Bradford Mini Mart which will be followed by practice at the Ridge with FREE grandstand admission.

Monster Truck Tickets are on sale now. So be sure to get your purchased early. Prepay for 10.00 at the door will be 13.00. Master card and Visa accepted. May 10^th fans with valid ID showing their birthday is in the month of May will be the “Guests of WFRD 99 Rock”, and will be able to enjoy the races free (general grandstands).

When the season’s opening flag waves on May 10^th general admission tickets will be THE SAME as it has been for the past several years: adults (ages 17 to 61) $10.00 a person, $8.00 for teens 12 to 16 and seniors 62 and older, children 11 and under free. General admission Season passes are available: Adults $150.00, Seniors and Teens $130.00. This year we will also be offering Season passes for the Pit gate to 2008 Bear Ridge Speedway License/membership holders at $350.00.

Bear Ridge Speedway continues to offer the best source of GREAT inexpensive high quality entertainment for families. Any and all one race passes and/or season passes are good for the grandstand gate only. Pit gate fees will be $20.00 for members (cannot be combined with free one race or season passes.) Master card and Visa will be accepted at both ticket gates in 2008!!
