Speedway Coming to Redmond Or.!!!!

Post by AlisoBob »

Steve Evans and myself are putting the final touches on a Sept 1st
Labor Day race in Redmond,Or. The race will be for D-1 riders with a
minimum purse of $4000. or 15% of front gate which ever is greater.
The race will be held in a 3500 seat arena and like any other
promoter we hope to atl east come close to feeling them up. This race
is already getting alot of attention all over the NorthWest as far
away as Idaho and northern Washington as well as Oregon.

The main purpose for this race is to grow this sport. There is real
hunger for speedway in the NW from former riders in the region as
well as promoters in the region wanting speedway back. They attempted
speedway in the mid and late 90's. At that time they only had 2
tracks to race on and like has happened in Calif. the tracks dryed up
and so did speedway. This is a great oppertunity we believe to bring
in some top riders to get this new effort kick started. I have talked
with past riders that still have their bikes and take them to the
flat track races and thats all they get to ride. There is also
at least 3 promoters in the region wanting to get speedway going again
up there. (one has a 1/4 mile track)

There has been some talk lately of why not put on some kind of big
Nations cup or our own SGP, all great ideas. Steve Evans, Myself and
others have discused these possibilitys for the last year but our
thoughts are that the sport needs to become more national than it is
at this time for those ideas to work and to bring in the big money
sponsors it would need. In order to grow this sport to a national
level a first step must be take'n, help us take that first step and
join us in Redmond, Or on Sept 1st. We realize it is a long haul for
the SoCal riders that is why we are putting some what of a purse up.

We need to hear from riders interested in attending this race within
the next 2 weeks. Help us so we can help you.

Thank You.
