Airborne Plans "Unforgettable" Fireworks Event

For immediate release – AS-062001-1

South Plattsburgh – Airborne Speedway will celebrate the 4th of July holiday on Saturday, July 2, with five divisions of stock car races and one of New York state’s largest fireworks displays, promoter Mike Perrotte announced today.

 

The pyrotechnics will be produced and directed by Plattsburgh chiropractor Joseph “Dr. Joe” Clauss and Sons. “We’ve arranged for some extra bulldozing to prepare the launch sites as an added safety precaution because this year’s display will be much bigger and longer than last year’s show, which was very well-received,” he said.

 

“We are going to fire the most gunpowder over the skies of Plattsburgh since we defeated the British ships in 1814,” Clauss promised. “I lost my Dad over the winter and I have never done a show without him. In part, this year’s display will be in hopes of having him looking down on Airborne and saying – nice job!”

 

“We have some specialty shells in transit from China ordered specifically for this night as we honor Plattsburgh and our country,” Clauss added.

 

The July 2nd event is sponsored by High Peaks Dental, Pepsi and Trim’s Mobile Home Service. All five Airborne divisions – DIRTcar Modifeds, Sportsman, Renegades, Mini Modifieds and Bombers - will be in action.

 

Grandstands open at 4 p.m. Racing begins at 6 p.m. Admission is $15/adults, kids 12 and under admitted free of charge. After 8:30 p.m., carloads will be admitted onto the grounds for a $7/parking fee.

 

Airborne Speedway is located on Broderick Road in South Plattsburgh, just off Rte 22, one mile south of I-87 exit 36. Airborne’s new Fun Karts on-site track will also be open.
