For Release - Friday May 9, 2008 - From Jim Irvine - Merrittville Speedway Public Relations - 905-892-8266
Thorold, Ontario (May 9) With Merrittville Speedway set to present it’s first DIRT Weekly Racing Series Event – May 10th, the Saturday Night track is proud to announce that once again for 2008 - membership will have it’s rewards.
Partnerships between Merrittville Speedway and a number of leading racing industry manufacturers have been established to benefit member drivers through all 5 regular divisions – the Turn 4 Collision 4 Cylinders, Lucas Oil Open Wheel Lites, Hoosier Stocks, Original Pizza Logs Sportsman and L. St. Amand Enterprises 358 Modifieds.
In 2007, Member drivers shared in almost $100,000 in cash, product and other awards.
"It is our pleasure to be able to create a program that brings together sponsors who provide goods and services to our racers and the Merrittville Speedway racers who have a wide variety of choices in who they purchase these items from.
“The Merrittville Speedway track contingency program provides an incentive for racers to use these sponsor's products and a way for sponsors to give back to the racers who support those businesses with their purchases," stated (Merrittville Speedway GM) Erica Bicknell.
Beginning with the first points event of the year on May 10th and continuing through all Merrittville Speedway events on the 2008 schedule, racers in all classes will be eligible to earn Point Fund and/or Product awards at the Awards Banquet at Club Castropignano provided that they are Merrittville members and display sponsor decals.
Member drivers have received Decal packages that include many of the following companies – Bilstein Sock Absorbers, Hoosier Tire Canada , Inside Track Motorsport News, Intercomp, ISC Racer’s Tape, Jaz Products, Kirkey Racing Fabrication, Motorsports Safety Systems, Port City Racing, R.J.S. Racing Equipment, Sway-A-Way, Ultra Shield Race Products, Outerwears and XRP, Inc.
Merrittville Speedway racers will enjoy a "no hassle" approach to their contingency payouts. Rather than the racer having to mail paperwork to the contingency sponsors, then hoping that they will eventually get paid, the Merrittville Speedway contingency program will reward racers at the banquet.
Speedway Officials may conduct random inspections of the racer's vehicles to ensure that the contingency sponsor's decals are in place.
Drivers that require a new set of decals or have yet to receive theirs or purchase a membership may contact Erica Bicknell at the Speedway Office during the week at 905-892-8266.
Race teams are encouraged to visit www.merrittvillespeedway.com through out the season for a series of spotlights on the companies that are part of the 2008 DIRT Weekly Racing Series Membership Rewards Program.
