Bike Races and Old Class Returns This Weekend!
This weekend at the legendary Tri-State Speedway, the kids will once again get their chance to show their speed and racing prowess on their bicycles in the June edition of the Kids' Bicycle Races.
During intermission, all of the kids, who bring their bicykes to the track, will get the chance to race against other like-aged kids down the front strait. Trophies will be awarded for each class that races. Bike helmets are strongly recommended by not required.
As an added bonus during this weekend's races, there will be two free kid's bicycles given away at intermission, compliments of Menasco Racing Enterprises. The only requirement is that the kids come out to the track this weekend and register with their parents.
As a reminder, there will not be monthly bicycle races in July due to the heat and summer vacations. The next kids' monthly bike race date is in August and can be found by visiting our race schedule.
Also this weekend, Tri-State Speedway will intorduce the TSS Modified class. This class will be a USRA-style modified class. This class will not be required to purchase a USRA license and will not earn any USRA points by racing with us. With the acquisition of the track being later in the winter and the announcement of sanctioning coming after that, quite a few area modified drivers had already completed their new cars, or planned on running their same car again in 2015. The sanctioning and rule changes to IMCA for 2015 forced many of these drivers to either travel long distances to race or to not even race at all. Tri-State Speedway wants to be supportive of all area racers efforts and has decided to institite this new class for the remainder of the season to allow these drivers a place to race their cars locally in front of their local fans. Tri-State Speedway has no intention of dropping its IMCA sanctioning, now or in 2016, and will continue to run the Factory/IMCA Stocks, IMCA Sport Mods and IMCA Modifieds.
We will see YOU this weekend for some great summetime races with some familiar faces!
