BRIGHTON, ON - On the heels of a successful winter racing event, staff and management at Brighton Speedway Park have received many calls and requests for a repeat. Because of these demands, ice racing will return to Brighton on Saturday February 10th .
“With the forecast remaining positive and the cold weather expected to stay for a while, the majority of the work is done. There will be little effort needed to repair the icy surface and again offer a racing atmosphere for our drivers and their fans,” states promoter Mark Rinaldi.
The event will maintain a similar format as the Brighton WinterFest event. Snowmobiles, four wheelers and enduro cars will take to the 1/3 mile icy surface. There will however be the addition of a Junior class to both the snowmobile and 4 wheeler division, which will allow children as young as 8 years old to compete. “We saw an increase in the youth classes this past Saturday, and wanted to keep the trend going, encouraging more family fun and a challenge for everyone.” said Rinaldi. Parents of children wishing to compete should contact the Speedway prior to the date to verify any requirements.
To make the event more competitor and fan friendly, the start time will be pushed back 1 hour on February 10th. Practice will take place at 10:00 am with the green flag dropping at 11:00 am. “For some of our competitors that live far away it was a pretty early start trying to get here for 9:00 am practice. Not to mention that the day went so smooth the event really didn’t take as long as we expected, so we are going with a later start time”.
Once again the ever-popular enduro cars will hit the iced up track upon the conclusion of the snowmobiles and four wheelers for some slick racing action.
