Kutztown, PA ….Large crowds, terrific car counts, and sizzling competition have marked the first three seasons of operation at the JeffreyHogueRealtor.com Action Track USA on the Kutztown Fairgrounds. But co-promoters Rich Tobias and Doug Rose are not about to sit still and have their hugely popular Wednesday Night Rumble programs simply maintain the status quo.
When the 2016 season begins in May, there will be several new initiatives geared toward the speedway’s enthusiastic and passionate fans. Each week, one lucky spectator will be chosen as the winner of a special drawing. The fortunate winner will choose between a cash prize of $100 or a flat screen television!
Spectators are given wristbands in lieu of general admission tickets, and each wristband is marked with a number. One of those numbers will be drawn and the fan wearing the corresponding wristband will be the night’s lucky winner.
The 2016 campaign will also see the start of reserved seat sales at Action Track USA. Tobias and Rose decided to offer a reserved seat plan in an effort to eliminate the leaving of blankets, sheets of plastic, etc. that previously “saved” seats from week to week. “Fans can still arrive early and put blankets down to save general admission seats,” said Rose. “But the blankets and plastic and whatever they use to save seats has to go home with them at the end of the night. For the fans who can’t get there early and for those who want to be assured of sitting in the same seats each Wednesday, we will offer the opportunity to reserve seats.”
Paying a $50 fee at the beginning of the season will guarantee your favorite seat each week. Simply show up on Wednesday evening, pay the normal $12 ticket price, and that extra $50 will have you in the same seat, cheering on your favorite drivers at every event on the 2016 schedule.
The track is also making season passes available for $130. A season pass will not offer a reserved seat option; they will be general admission only and provide a savings as compared to purchasing a general admission ticket each week.
“For that $130, you basically get one free admission and you’re paying regular price for those couple events where we have to bump up the ticket prices slightly,” noted Rose.
Younger fans are part of one of the new promotions, too, as P.R. Director Mandee Pauch and the Action Track Angels debut a Kids Club for spectators aged 12 and under.
The Kids Club will have supervised games and activities, along with a special theme, for a few hours each Wednesday. To insure the security of the children, parents will sign in and sign out their kids and club activities will take place in one specific, designated area.
