'Big R': Wet weather forces Ransomville Speedway to cancel weekend activities

By Ransomville Speedway

Due to inclement weather, Ransomville Speedway management made the decision to cancel this weekend’s “Test, Tune, and Time” for the stock car program, and Sunday’s go-kart driving school.

Weather-permitting, Ransomville Speedway will host a practice session and pre-tech for all divisions on Wednesday, May 3. Pit gates will open at 5 p.m. and cars will be on the track at 7 p.m. Then, on Friday, as part of the 65th season opener, time trials will take place to set the front row of each division to receive their contingency awards. 

Go-kart driving school will be made up at a date that will be announced in the coming days. 

Drivers will be racing against the clock to see who will be on the front row of their division’s feature on opening night, Friday, May 5, presented by VP Racing Small Engine Fuels. The pole sitter for the Krown Undercoating Modifieds and the Investor’s Service Sportsman will receive a drum of VP Race Fuel, the “Official Fuel of the Big R.” Drivers who clock in position No. 2 for both the Modifieds and Sportsman will receive a certificate good for one new tire courtesy of Hoosier Racing Tires. The pole sitter in the KiPo Motors Street Stocks will receive a race tire, while the outside polesitter will receive a free pit entry. The front row for both the Sunflowers of Sanborn Mini Stocks and the Kevin’s Carpet Cleaning Novice Sportsman will each receive a free pit entry.
