Devil's Bowl Speedway Announces New Admission Pricing and Policies

Season passes available; weekly $12 adult ticket pricing returns

 

For Immediate Release                                                                                                                                                                                  DBS-031821-1



 

WEST HAVEN, Vt. – Devil's Bowl Speedway has announced fan-friendly pricing and policies for the 2021 dirt track season. As Vermonters demonstrate an ability to effectively control and mitigate the pandemic, management at the West Haven track remains optimistic that state health and safety regulations will soon look closer to normal.

State-mandated restrictions last year severely limited group sizes, forcing Devil's Bowl Speedway to make changes to remain financially stable. Those changes included eliminating free admission for children, eliminating discount pricing for seniors and teens, and raising ticket prices to $15 for all ages.

Although many restrictions are expected to remain in place for 2021, track promoter Mike Bruno has made changes to help families enjoy events more affordably. As a result, Devil's Bowl will reintroduce a lower $12 adult price (all ages, 13 and up) for weekly events, and a more affordable $5 child ticket will be offered at all events.

The new infield drive-in parking area – which was created to facilitate social distancing – quickly became an exciting option for fans, and it will remain an important part of Devil's Bowl moving forward. A new access road, a new entry and exit point, and a new infield food and beverage concession stand will be constructed in the spring, which will greatly improve the infield experience. Infield admission will remain $20 for adults and free for kids.

Online advance ticket sales remain a convenient option for the grandstands in addition to at-track sales on race day. Infield tickets will only be sold at the speedway on race day in 2021 due to the uncertainty of rain and resulting soft grounds that would close the infield.

Pit area admission remains consistent at most weekly events at $25 for 2021 Devil's Bowl Speedway license holders and $35 for non-members. Discussions are underway about the possibility of online advance sale pit passes.

Special events will have different pricing in the grandstands, infield, and pit area, and all prices and policies are subject to change dependent upon state mandates.

Season passes are now available for the grandstands and the pit area. Grandstand general admission season passes are $300 for adults and $50 for kids. Reserved general admission seating is also available for an additional $50. Season pit passes area available for $600 for members and $800 for non-members.

Mike's Fuels of Bridport, Vt., presents Devil's Bowl Speedway's 55th season opener on Saturday, May 1, at 7:00 p.m. The 30-lap Sportsman Modified feature will pay a whopping $2,500 to win, and the Limited Sportsman, Super Stock, Mini Stock, and 500cc Mini Sprint classes will also be in action.

Devil's Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, Vt., four miles north of U.S. Route 4, Exit 2, and just 20 minutes from Rutland, Vt.  For more information, visit www.DevilsBowlSpeedwayVT.com or call (802) 265-3112.

Ontario Modifieds Racing Series Unveils a Tentative 2021 Schedule

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media 

 

It's a simple concept that's easy to understand. Racers just want to race. That's what made things so tough for OMRS drivers and teams. Despite the best intentions of tour officials, the 2020 schedule fell victim to government restrictions caused by the COVID-19 Coronavirus and was cancelled before anyone had even turned a lap on the track. With an optimistic look to the future, a tentative calendar of events has been released that could see the popular series – presented by GEN-3 Electrical – run 7 shows. 

 

"Everyone has their fingers crossed and we're hoping things will head in a different direction for 2021," said Ontario Modifieds Racing Series spokesperson Rick Warnes. "Early indications point to about a handful of new teams joining the fold and even though it has been more than a year since he celebrated clinching the title, each driver in the field has their sights set on unseating reigning champion John Baker Jr." 

 

Subject to COVID safety guidelines in place at the host venues, this year's agenda will get rolling with a pair of dates – Saturday, May 29th and Saturday, June 19th – at Peterborough Speedway. Action shifts to Flamboro Speedway Saturday, July 3rd. While all OMRS shows pay the same number of team points toward the overall title, Warnes says the highlight of the schedule will be the inaugural running of the Bill Pickford Memorial – Saturday, August 14th – at Peterborough. 

 

"A good friend of the sport and strong ambassador for the series, Bill passed away toward the end of the 2019 season," explained Rick Warnes. "At the year's awards celebration, we announced plans for an event to honour Bill's memory and his dedication to our brand, as well as stock car racing across the province. Taking the checkered flag in this prestigious race is sure to become an annual badge of honour for OMRS drivers."
