Airborne Speedway Press Release
For immediate release AS-051110-1 South Plattsburgh – Airborne Speedway will celebrate Memorial Day weekend by hosting a Modified Racing Series event for the first time Saturday, May 29 and the tour’s top drivers are looking forward to racing their low-slung 600 HP machines on the progressively-banked half mile. “We’re hearing that there are three or more racing grooves to play around with,” defending Series champion Jon McKennedy of Chelmsford, Mass. said. “That should be a lot of fun and it should make it a very interesting, competitive race.” |
Veteran Dwight Jarvis of Ascutney, Vt., winner of the 2010 Modified Racing Series opener at Monadnock Speedway, feels the same way. “We’re excited,” Jarvis said. “We’ve heard a lot of good things about Airborne.” “The Airborne race is the first part of a big doubleheader for our series,” founder, promoter and competitor Jack Bateman said. “We race the next day at Thunder Road. It’s something we’ve never done before. This is our seventh season and we have 65 teams entered, which is a record for us. It’s really exciting.” Greg Atkins Logging and Taylor Rental present the Modified Racing Series 100-lap event. All Airborne divisions will also compete. Post time is 5 p.m. “I think this race will be a treat for our fans and it bring in some race fans from outside the area,” Perrotte said. “The Modified Series cars are the type that race so well at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. They’re a link to a lot of Airborne history from the 50s’ and 60’s.” This Saturday, May 15 is Econo Lodge Kiddie Rides Night. Kiddie rides begin at 4:40 p.m. Post time is 5 p.m. All Airborne divisions will be in action. Admission is $10/adults – kids 12 and under free. Contact: Tom Herzig |
