RANSOMVILLE SPEEDWAY MAKES BATTLE AT THE BORDER A TWO DAY SHOW
Ransomville, NY
– Tuesday, June 11, 2013 – Mother
Nature has not been a friend to weekly
short track racing in the Northeast in
2013. A total of one
and a half rain-outs have plagued
Ransomville Speedway in just the first
five weeks of the season prompting
officials to consider make-up dates.
“After
last Friday’s rain-out, we received a
few calls in the office from drivers
asking about making some of these point
shows up,” commented Marketing and PR
Director Tana Robinson. “Through these
conversations came the idea to run the
Eve of the Battle at the Border –
Tuesday, July 2nd.”
“Awesome, I love
it,” commented 2011 Mighty Taco Modified
champion Chad Brachmann.
Brachmann is excited to have
another opportunity to earn points
towards the 2013 title – one he hopes to
come out on top of.
In 2012 – Brachmann came into the night
tied with Pete Bicknell.
The pair would run nose to tail
much of the event with Bicknell claiming
the title – just edging out Brachmann.
To say Brachmann is looking to
reverse that in 2013 would be an
understatement.
“I’d love another
point’s night,” commented BCL racing
Representative Jim Briggs.
Briggs was on hand last Friday
when the decision to cancel due to
inclement weather.
“We really don’t get too many
opportunities to race,” commented
Briggs. “It’s
exciting to have another race added to
the schedule.”
Slated for
competition will include the Mighty Taco
Modified’s, Investor’s Services
Sportsman, Ki-Po Chevrolet Street
Stocks, and Gippster’s Collision 4
Bangers. Gates will
open at 5 pm in the Pits and 6 pm in the
Grandstands. Racing
will being at 7:15 pm.
The racing will continue the following
night – Wednesday, July 3rd
for the 4th
annual Battle at the Border.
Presented by Waste Management and
FinditQuick.com , the $5000 to WIN 75
lap 358 Modified headline is also a stop
on the Super DIRTcar Series promising a
great field of cars will be on hand.
Additionally, the Sportsman Super
DIRTcar Series will also be
in
attendance.
Between these two divisions and
the FinditQuick.com Fireballs – car
counts should near 100.
Gate times for Wednesday are 4:30
in both the Pits and Grandstands.
Racing will begin with time
trials at 7 pm.
Make
plans to kick off your Holiday weekend
on Tuesday, July 2nd
at the Big R where Camping is always
free.
