JULY 5, 2011
Independence Day Championship at Tri-County Postponed
to July 15; Format Revamped
(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) The Tri-County Race Track had planned
on hosting their 'Independence Day Championship' last night,
July 4, but Mother Nature swept in and unfortunately stole the
show. After a day to think things over and review area track
schedules, promoter Ray Cook has opted to reschedule the program
to Friday night, July 15. However, the format for the show has
been altered slightly, as well as admission prices, starting
times, etc.
There will now be six classes in action during the 'Independence
Day Championship' on July 15 at the Brasstown, North Carolina
bullring. The Super Late Models ($1,200 to win), Limited Late
Models ($1,000 to win), Crate Late Models ($700 to win), Modified
Hobby ($300 to win), Street Enduro ($250 to win), and Pony ($250
to win) divisions will all be in competition. There will be
no entry fees in any of the six divisions!
"We were looking forward to putting on another $3,000
to win show for the Super Late Models on July 4, but the weather
didn't cooperate with us," quoted Cook today via telephone.
"The fans have been calling me all day about the reschedule
date and the fireworks show, so we wanted to do something fairly
quickly. Unfortunately, there are so many Super Late Model races
in the area the next couple of weeks that we couldn't really
justify doing a $3,000 to win show at this time. However, each
of the classes will be running for extra money on July 15 and
the fans will get their money's worth with six classes!"
Grandstand admission will be $12.00 for adults, $6.00 for kids
6-12, and children five and under will be admitted for free
with a paying adult. Pit admission on July 15 will be $25.00
for adults, $12.00 for kids 6-12, and children five and under
will once again be free with a paying adult. Pit gates will
open at 3:00 p.m., while the grandstands will open an hour later
at 4:00 p.m. The drivers meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
with racing action slated for 7:30 p.m. There will be a huge
fireworks show to cap off the exciting evening.
In other news, Ray has also announced that their will now be
a 'Labor Day Championship' race held at the Tri-County Race
Track on Monday, September 5 featuring Super Late Models for
$3,000 to win. Keep checking www.tricountyracetrack.com for
