Seekonk Speedway Updates for Opening Day; Yurko Joins As Videographer
TIRES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP at the speedway on Wednesday, April 2, between 4 and 7 PM. Tires must first be purchased at the speedway office. This can be done during normal business hours or on Wednesday before tire pickup. Call the office at (508)-336-9959 with any questions.
PRO STOCKS will again run TIME TRIALS on Opening Day 2008 to set their starting positions for qualifying races. Other divisions will start their heat races by drawing for position. As per previous years, cars drawing starting spots in the top five must have attained a minimum speed in practice sessions or will be relegated to the tail end of the field.
TRANSPONDERS are available through the speedway office for any team not already having one. Please make an effort to provide the handicappers/scorers with your transponder information so that it can be added to the computer scoring system. We will attempt to begin obtaining lap times for competitors with their transponders turned on at next week’s first open practice session.
CRUISE WITH THE CHAMPIONS – courtesy of Cruise Holidays of Lakeville and Royal Caribbean will continue in 2008. A press release announcing the specifics for this promotion- which will honor the champions in our FOUR SATURDAY NIGHT divisions will be issued soon.
WEBSITE – Due to an issue with the server, we have encountered some difficulties posting updates to the Seekonk Speedway website. Please be patient and refer to your newsletter distributions for the release of timely information.
