BRS the best bang for your buck family entertainment
For Immediate Release

Bradford, Vt. December 27, 2010.
Bear Ridge Speedway the best bang for your buck family entertainment.
Bear Ridge Speedway continues to be the best source of good inexpensive high quality entertainment for families, and 2011 will see it even better for the fans. The price of a general admission (front gate) ticket will remain the same as it has over the past decade for adults (ages 17 to 61) at $10.00 a person and children 11 and under $2.00. Teens 12 to 16 and seniors 62 and older will be able to enjoy the racing in 2011 at $8.00.
The price of the back gate (pit entrance) will also remain the same for Bear Ridge Speedway 2011 license holders and non license holders, but starting in 2011 we will be offering an additional incentive for competitors at other tracks and racing series to come check out what it is like to compete on the fastest 1/4 mile clay oval in Vermont. To get thru the back gate (pit gate) Bear Ridge Speedway 2011 license holders will get in for $10.00 and non license holders will get in for $20.00 (both of these prices are in addition to the front gate ticket and the same as they have been for over a decade now.) What will be added to the options at the back gate will be a rate of $15.00 for those competitors holding 2011 licenses from other tracks or racing series groups. We at the Ridge encourage everyone to get out and race, even if you don't call us your home track, but we also encourage you to come check out the Ridge, to see just how much fun it is. This will make it more affordable for that driver and crew to check out our facilities without having to pay the full Bear Ridge Speedway non member rate. (In order to be eligible for the Bear Ridge Speedway points fund, and recognized at the annual awards banquet, drivers will have to hold a 2011 Bear Ridge Speedway license and run on track designated tires as indicated in the rule book.)
You do the math, in today's economy you will be hard pressed to find entertainment that is perfect for the whole family at less than these rates. Racing is the number one spectator sport in the country with well over 750 dirt facilities running nationwide, so if you haven’t been up to the Ridge in awhile or at all why not check it out in 2011.
The kid's club will return in 2010 with added activities and prizes available exclusively to the elite members of the club. The price for membership will remain the same at only $2.00 per child. Once registered, kids will benefit in weekly free give aways, rides with their favorite drivers, pit tours, special autograph sessions and more, just by signing in each week after becoming a member.
As we continue to make your experience just what you are looking for, we are also working on ways to ensure that the show continues to end in a timely manner on a weekly basis.
Remember in today's society we could all use a little more family entertainment, and the Ridge is your best place to be for just that. The admission price is more than reasonable; the show top-notch, the food superior, and the family friendly atmosphere is just what you are looking for.
2011 driver and crew membership applications will be in the mail shortly and are now available on the website. Be sure to get yours sent in by March 1st for early return savings.
