🏁 TRACK UPDATE 🏁

Unfortunately, the rain we got this afternoon has set us back a little bit. 🌧️

We were originally planning on practice Friday, but with RTR Speedway racing Friday night, we’re not sure we’ll be able to get the track ready for Thursday practice. We’re hoping to get enough work done tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning to make Thursday practice possible.

We’re keeping a close eye on everything and will make a decision about Thursday practice as soon as we know what we’re dealing with.

One thing is for sure — WE WILL HAVE THE TRACK READY FOR SATURDAY’S RACE! 🏁🔥

Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding. We’ll keep everyone updated as we know more!

🏁 RACE NIGHT THANK YOU! 🏁

First off, thank you to everyone who helped me last night! It was truly a one-man-band operation, and I really appreciate everyone who stepped up and helped make the night happen. I couldn’t have done it without you!

Also, drivers—you did a great job last night! I saw a lot of giving each other room, holding your lines, and racing the right way. Please let’s keep this trend going! That’s the kind of racing we want to see at the track. 🏁👏

Congratulations to all of last night’s winners! 🏆🎉

We’ll do it all again this coming Saturday!

Thank you all for continuing to support the track and making Bristol RC Speedway a great place to race! 🏁

🏁 Congratulations to all of our winners last night! 🏁

We managed to dodge the rain! 🌦️ A few sprinkles slowed us down, but we were able to get the entire show completed.

I also want to apologize for a mistake I made in the Losi Late Model Sportsman class. I failed to have the scheduled bump-ups from the C Main to the B Main, and that's on me. I'm sorry to the drivers who earned those transfer spots. We'll make sure it's handled correctly going forward.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported Bristol RC Speedway. We had another great night of racing, and we can't wait to do it all again!

🏁 Join us Saturday, August 8, for Point Race #6!
Practice starts at 5:00 PM, with racing beginning just after 6:00 PM.

See you at the track! 🏎️💨

🏁🌦️ GOOD MORNING... IT'S RACE DAY AT BRISTOL RC SPEEDWAY! 🌦️🏁

With rain currently showing around 8:00 PM, we're making a few adjustments to give ourselves the best chance to get the entire program completed.

⏰ Practice will now start just before 4:00 PM (or at 4:00 PM).

To help keep things moving, we'll also be reducing the time between races from 3 minutes to 2 minutes.

🏁 Today's Race Format:
• 20-Lap Heats
• 20-Lap Lower Mains
• 50-Lap A Mains

We're going to push to get the full show in before the weather arrives. If the radar improves or the forecast changes and it looks like the rain will hold off longer, we can always add laps back later in the evening.

Let's get to the track early, be ready to race, and work together to keep the program moving!

See everyone this afternoon! 🏎️💨
