ARE YOU READY TO RUMBBBBBLLLLLEEEEEE??? The Dirt will fly at the famed Bear Ridge Speedway Saturday June 20th!!!
With some restrictions in place
Bear Ridge Speedway
Saturday June 20th will see some of the best cars and stars in New England taking the first green flag of the COVID-19 season. Restrictions continue to be eased and with it comes the ability to have racing at the Ridge once again. Unfortunately, we can have NO general admission grandstands at this time. As we continue thru the summer, we are anticipating more easements, and eventual opportunity to have you all back at the track. With no general admission grandstands no one under the age of 10 will be allowed on the property. If you are unable to attend you can watch your driver’s progress on RACE Monitor. Saturday June 20th will be sponsored by one of our many long-time sponsors Wells Rive Savings Bank. During these difficult times we cannot thank all of our sponsors enough for their continued support. Without them and all of you we would not be able to make racing happen.
Another weekend of closed practice sees everyone cooperating with COVID-19 requirements Still no racing as week seven of season is canceled due to COVID-19
Bear Ridge Speedway
Week seven June 13th our New Digs for Dogs Benefit night to be sponsored by Hoosier Tire is canceled due to COVID-19. We continue to update and adjust our schedule in an effort to be able to bring back our sponsors later in the year.
With neighboring states easing restrictions allowing for non-fan attended events we are in hopes that the officials in the state of Vermont will begin to look at opportunities to allow us to once again turn up some dirt and eat some gravy fries!
