The Autosaver Ford\/Springfield Buick-GMC \u201cVermont Freedom &amp; Unity\u201d event was postponed by rain last week and was initially rescheduled for Saturday; however, the makeup date has been reset to Sunday, October 26 at 1:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Two major factors contributed to the date being readjusted: another unfavorable weather forecast, and the 55th annual Rutland Halloween Parade in Downtown Rutland, VT. The parade is one of the area\u2019s largest and most enjoyable community gatherings each fall, and is scheduled for Saturday, October 25.<br \/>\n\u201cMany of our race fans, competitors, and officials attend and even participate in the parade every year, including those that help us with our annual Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway float,\u201d track co-owner Alayne Bruno said. \u201cRunning our race on the same day as the parade would have forced some people to choose between the two, and we want everyone to be able to enjoy both events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Track co-owner Mike Bruno agreed, adding that a predicted four consecutive days of rain during the week would have made running on Saturday tougher.<br \/>\n\u201cThe Rutland community has been good to Devil\u2019s Bowl, and we have fun supporting the parade, so it was a pretty easy decision,\u201d Mike Bruno said. \u201cWe also learned a big lesson a few weeks ago about how the clay on our new track surface holds water after rain, and waiting until Sunday will give us one extra day to dry it out so we can put a nice surface together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Officials also said that should the October 26 date be postponed again for any reason, the final attempt at running the event will be on Saturday, November 1 at 1:00 p.m. The tentative November 1 date is also contingent upon ground conditions and forecasted weather and temperature patterns.<br \/>\nThe Autosaver Ford\/Springfield Buick-GMC \u201cVermont Freedom &amp; Unity\u201d event on Sunday, October 26 will feature a 100-lap Sportsman Modified race, the winged Sprint Cars of New England tour, a special event for the Bear Ridge Speedway Sportsman Coupe division, and Renegades and Mini Stocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway officials have announced that the facility\u2019s final dirt track stock car race of the season will have to wait for one additional day.
