Fonda/Fultonville, NY –April 14, 2016- “Friday April 15th at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park is cancelled due to the extremely wet grounds,” was the comment made by the Glen Ridge Motorsports Park by Demitraszek Enterprises.
All Glen Ridge racers are welcome at Fonda on Saturday for practice and inspection. Gates will open at 12 noon for inspection with practice from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The grandstands will not be open at Fonda this Saturday only the pit area will be open with a $15.00 admission and Fonda season passes will be honored.
Please note that food will not be available at Fonda due to the concessions not being open because of Department of Health water testing requirements.
The 2016 racing season will be the 13th consecutive championship season of competition for stock cars at Glen Ridge with the first season being 2004 when the highlight division was the Budget Sportsman where Frank Blanchard was crowned the track champion. 2005 was the first full season that the modifieds competed at Glen Ridge with Mike Ketchum the first champion crowned in that division at Glen Ridge.
An interesting note is that Demitraszek Enterprises own Matt Demitraszek was crowned the budget sportsman track champion at Glen Ridge back in 2005!
While Glen Ridge will be celebrating their 13th championship season of competition in 2016, the “Track of Champions” Fonda Speedway will be celebrating their 65th consecutive championship racing season in 2016!
With the cancellation of the Glen Ridge opener for this Friday, April 15 it creates a very special weekend on Friday, April 22 and Saturday, April 23 as both the Glen Ridge Motorsports Park and Fonda Speedways will both be holding their season openers weather permitting. More information on the history of both tracks will be coming out in press releases next week.
