Airborne Speedway prepares for huge fireworks crowd
AS-062611-1 For immediate release South Plattsburgh – Airborne Speedway is making plans to accommodate the largest crowd of the year Saturday, July 2 when Pepsi, High Peaks Dental and Trim’s Mobile Home Repair present a full race card and the largest fireworks display in track history. Pyrotechnic experts Dr. Joe Clauss and Sons have vowed to “fire the most gunpowder over the skies of Plattsburgh since we defeated the British ships during the War of 1812.” |
“Last year’s show was the best at Airborne in 58 years,” promoter Mike Perrotte said. “Saturday we’ll have of the largest displays anywhere in New York. We have hired extra personnel to handle increased traffic, parking and concessions.” “Mike has done some extra bulldozing to prepare the launch sites as an added safety precaution because this deal will be much bigger and longer than the last one, which was very well-received,” Dr. Clauss said. “I lost my Dad over the winter and I have never done a show without him. This year’s display will be in hopes of having him looking down on Airborne and saying – nice job!” Airborne was rained out for the third time this season Saturday, June 25. “The weather’s been hard on everybody,” Perrotte said. “We’ve arranged Sunday, July 3 as a rain date for this event because we’re determined to get it in.” Admission is $15/adults – kids 12 and under admitted free. Racing begins at 6 p.m. Spectators arriving after 8:30 p.m. will be admitted onto the grounds for $7 per carload. All five weekly divisions will be in action. More than 110 race cars are expected. Defending Ernie’s Discount Tools Modified champion Patrick Dupree of Saranac Lake will be out for his second straight win against 30-plus DIRTcar Modifieds. Airborne’s new Go-Kart track will be open. Airborne Speedway is located on Broderick Road in South Plattsburgh, just off Rte 22, one mile south of I-87 exit 36. For more info, visit airborneparkspeedway.com. Contact: Tom Herzig |
