Local racing starts in May

The question was posed a few days ago, “Will Ona Speedway open in 2008?”

The answer is “Yes!"

A tentative race schedule is up on their website, and they will run every other weekend.

Dates are May 10 and 24; June 7 and 21; July 12 and 19; August 2, 16 and 30; September 13 and 27; and October 11 and 25.

General Admission gates open at 5 p.m.; racing begins at 7 p.m. Pit Gates open at noon. No word yet on admission prices, though.

Drivers can register their Elite Modified, Late Model, Hobby Stock, U-Car, Any Car and Classics now.

There are lots of opportunities for racefans to attend events locally. You don’t have to go to Bristol, Martinville, or even Kentucky Speedway. We’ll take note of them as we get the information.
