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.
