Bridgeport Speedways ¼ mile track Opening night 4/11/08

Well the night started off bright, with the sun poking its head out at times, the 2008 Friday night ¼ mile racing season was off to a bright start. With 101 total cars signed in to race on the famed ¼ mile tonight, with some still needing to be N.J. safety inspected before getting out on the track, the safety crew was in overdrive to accommodate all the race cars. One round of practice was run for all classes and all the heat races and one feature was ran before the rains came. 35, 600cc MicroSprints took the green flag in 4 heats with wins going to the #29 Nick Sapp, the #9S Rick Stief, the #026 Jeff Hartman and the #7h Bill Thomas. Four heat wins for the 37, 270cc Micros were won by the #K9 of Richie Keller, the #44 of John Copeland, the #84j of Jessica Lindmeier and the #70 of Eddie Wagner. The 4cyls with 13 cars set to go racing, the 2 heat wins were by the #4 of Dave Damiano and the #m80 of Mike Hughes. The always popular Slingshots by Tobias http://www.slingshotbytobias.com once again invaded the ¼ mile track. With 16 cars taking the green flag tonight, they were the only class to get all their races in with 2 heats and the 20 lap feature being won by the #56 of young Gary Heiber. The mighty 600cc MicroSprints then got their Bmain interrupted on the 3rd lap for a burst of rain. Forcing the race to be stopped and the cars pulled off the track. With the track taking water and the rains not letting up the show was called for the night. The track announced that the 600cc MicroSprints will have the B main and the feature race made up next week 4/18 along with the regular scheduled race night program. The 4 cylinders will have their feature made up on 4/25 and the 270cc Micros will have the B main and feature made up on 5/16. It was announced at the driver/handlers meeting that the BUCK HORN Family Restaurant of Paulsboro N.J. would be sponsoring the 270cc MicroSprint, B main winners this year. The rains washed out the event before we got to the 270 B main so we will have to wait till next week to announce the first winner of the BUCKHORN 270 B main. And you thought only NASCAR had the big multi car “Super Teams”, such as Hendricks Motorsports and Roush Fenway Racing with 4 cars each, Friday night in the pits at Bridgeport there were 2 four teams. The Keller clan with 4 cars “The GO Crew” and the Locuson Family with 4 cars all with similar looking paint schemes that were very impressive, looking good to both crews. Look to www.LocalMicros.com for more information on these teams and others as the season progressives and for complete race coverage.
Bridgeport Speedways Management team and Track officials would like to send out their thanks to all the drivers, teams and fans that showed up for opening night at Bridgeport Speedways ¼ mile track, It made for a very impressive and successful opening night. Look to www.LocalMicros.com for complete year long coverage of Friday night racing details.
