ADVANCED TICKET SALES for the July 25th “Six Nations Showdown” at Ohsweken Speedway presented by ARROW EXPRESS featuring the World of Outlaw Sprints continue at a brisk pace. Ticket requests have been taken daily by phone only (519-542-2116), Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and will continue until July 10th. Credit card payment in full is required at the time of purchase. Tickets are then mailed directly to your home. Adult price is $40 with children 12 and under at $25.
“Tickets have been selling at such a rate that the entire existing stands are already sold out” stated an excited promoter Glenn Styres. “We had hoped that the fans would support this event and purchase advanced tickets so we could justify any needs for additional seating but this is beyond expectation. We have already contracted to install an additional 1,288 seats at each end of the existing stands on the front stretch. This will almost triple what we started with and we can install more if the demand is there” Styres went on. “We hope that as many people that want tickets will buy in advance to help us make sure that ample seating is available on race day and to also help get people into the track when the gates open” Styres continued.
“We will make every effort to ensure that all who want to come to this event will have a place to sit at race time. I just hope that people remain patient and continue to call”.
The much anticipated event will include all of the stars and cars of the premier Sprint Car series headquartered in the United States featuring Steve Kinser and Danny Lasoski. The Wednesday, July 25th show is a full point race for the series with racing scheduled to get underway with the usual 7:45 PM start. The winner will collect a cool $10,000. Pit Gates will open at 2:00 PM with spectator gates opening at 4:00. An autograph session is scheduled to begin at 4:30. Mini Stocks will also be on the program in a support role.
