BRADFORD, VT – Anticipation is high for the kick off of the 2017 50th season of racing at Bear Ridge Speedway racing on Saturday May 6th.

But before we get there it is off to the Fireside Inn in West Lebanon for our 16th annual Upper Valley car show on Saturday April 29th from 10:00 to 1:00. Following the car show, weather permitting, for the cars that were a part of the car show we will be having a test and tune session at the Ridge.

Then it is a week of tweaking for the drivers as they make the final adjustments on their machines before the 50th waving of the green at the Ridge on May 6th. The day will start with the car show located in the field between Bradford Mini Mart/NAPA FMS Auto Parts from 10:00 to 1:00. Then there is another round of practice followed by the green at 5:30 pm(ish).
