DISMAL FORECAST CANCELS FRIDAY PORTION OF BIG TRACK CLASSIC
Bridgeport, NJ – With nearly 100% rain and thunderstorms predicted for Friday (day & evening) in South Jersey, Bridgeport Speedway and the United Racing Club (URC) both felt it wise to cancel Friday’s event as soon as possible. “After talking with Rick Weller of URC and our team, cancelling made the most sense unfortunately,” offered track manager Danny Serrano. “They’ve been calling for rain on Friday since Sunday and it hasn’t gotten any better, only worse. By calling it tonight we’re hoping that drivers, crews, and fans can still go about their Friday plans without altering their schedule just to get rained out anyway,” added Serrano. “We rained out in April and now again Friday. We can’t wait to see these guys finally thrill the fans on Saturday!”
Day-2 of the ‘Big Track Classic’ sponsored by BRB Contractors will go on as scheduled on Saturday, November 3. Pit Gates open at 1:30 pm with grandstand gates opening at 3pm. The first heat race will go green at 5pm. Joining the URC 360 sprint cars will 602 Crates and the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club. Friday’s ‘Underdog 20’ for the 602 Crates has been rescheduled and will now take place next Friday, November 9, as part of Wild Card Weekend. And divisions seeking some hot lap sessions that were scheduled to run Friday can still come on Saturday to get those hot lap sessions.
