Thorold, Ontario (April
9) – It’s 17 days and counting down to Merrittville
Speedway’s Baron Roofing Windows and Doors Spring
Sizzler 100 – Saturday April 26th.
“Tuesday was just a
huge day,” relates (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell,
“we’ve had a good couple of days actually … both with
our facilities and the race tracks themselves … it
won’t be very long until we open now.”
Race fans and teams
following the series of articles that began way back
on February 29th may have noticed that there was no
daily update yesterday.
“It’s about the only
thing that has caused us grief so far,” added
Bicknell, “in this day and age … you don’t realize how
much we have come to rely on the internet and e mail…
until you don’t have them … we’re hoping to be back on
line soon!”
For almost 12 hours
Tuesday the Saturday Stock Car and Tuesday Kart Tracks
were groomed and after raising some dust early in the
afternoon were watered and repacked.
“Wednesday’s rain
couldn’t have come at a better time too,” revealed (Merrittville
co-owner) Pete Bicknell, “it was just enough that we
can probably get out again later this afternoon and
run it in again … it would be nice if we could get
this kind of cooperation during the racing season!”
Both tracks will be
put into action this weekend with the first two rounds
of the Bicknell Racing Products Chassis Seminar and
Pete Bicknell Driving School in addition to on track
sessions for the RCM Racing Products Kart School.
