Ransomville Speedway hoping to write off rain for 'Autograph Night'

Fantasy Island, United Materials & Bailey Bros. Landscaping present ‘Autograph Night’ this Friday

Following three-straight rainouts, Ransomville Speedway is looking to get its 2019 season off and running this Friday night as Fantasy Island, United Materials and Bailey Brothers Landscaping present “Autograph Night.”

“Autograph Night” is a fan-friendly event with an on-track autograph session during intermission. It gives fans in the stands a chance to meet their favorite drivers or make some new favorites. Typically, the drivers and teams hand out hero/autograph cards and other goodies during the autograph session.

The Krown Undercoating 358 Modifieds, Investors Service Sportsman, Ki-Po Chevrolet Street Stocks, Gippster's Collision Mini Stocks and Stevenson's Hardware Novice Sportsman are all champing at the bit to get on track. The Street Stocks will try yet again to go head-to-head with their counterparts from Humberstone Speedway in the twice-postponed opening race of the Can-Am Thunder Stock Challenge.

Fantasy Island, located on Grand Island, is “Niagara’s Amusement and Water Park,” featuring 40 rides and attractions that are fun for all ages. They will be featured prominently at the Big R with a trackside billboard, print advertisements in the “Ransomville Laps” program and weekly ticket giveaways for the Ransomville Kids Club. Race fans attending the May 17 program will have the chance to win Fantasy Island tickets from Miss Ransomville throughout the show.
