Ready, Set, Race: Fonda Speedway Opens 73rd Season Saturday, April 27

FONDA, NY – Ready, set, race.

Fonda Speedway, resurfaced during the off-season and delayed by wet conditions through the spring months, gets its 73rd season underway this Saturday, April 27. The Track of Champions fires to life with a program presented by Glover Insurance Agency.

2024 championship battles get underway for the Amsterdam Truck Center Modifieds, Swagger Factory Apparel Crate 602 Sportsman, Leatherstocking Credit Union Pro Stocks, Montgomery County Office for Aging Limited Sportsman and Fonda Fair Four Cylinders.

The Mohawk Valley Vintage Dirt Modifieds also hit the half-mile oval as part of the Season Opener.

“Last fall, we put approximately 10 inches of clay all the way around the speedway,” promoter Brett Deyo of BD Motorsports Media LLC said. “This spring, the track has been tilled, worked multiple times with equipment to remove stone from the clay, packed, rolled and worked up again.

“It has been a process with the new clay and the track crew needed the extra time to get it right.”

Both attempts at pre-season practices were nixed and the season now gets the green light on April 27.

The Jack Johnson Memorial – originally slated for April 20 – has been postponed to Thursday, May 23 to kick off Memorial Day Weekend.

This Saturday (April 27), pit gates open at 3 p.m. Grandstand gates unlock at 4 p.m. Hot laps begin at 6 p.m., with racing at 7 p.m.

Grandstand admission is $13 (Adults). Seniors (ages 65 and over) pay $11. Kids 11 and under are FREE.

Infield drive-in parking is $60 (includes up to four passes) and can be reserved at the following link: https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/1549/tickets/1396422

Pit admission is $40 (Members), $35 (Non-Members), $10 Kids (ages 6-12) and $2 Children (ages 5 and under).

The event will be broadcast live on FloRacing (www.floracing.tv).
