New York Ice Championships April 10/11

It was a great crowd and a fun night. Unfortunately Casey Donholt, Adam Mittl and Gene Bonsignore, who were all expected to be front runners, suffered some real bad luck with equipment breakdowns and that changed the scope of the results but a big shout out to Russ Cornell, one of the best people in speedway who made it to the A-Final and was fourth. Jerry Harman also suffered with equip trouble. Congratulations to Ronnie Kemp won won the meeting with a victory over Shawn McConnell in the final. Tim Jackson won the Pro ATV. I may be off one position on Holden and Hawkins and Clark and Donholt, going from Memory but pretty sure that was right.

Congratulations to Shawn on winning the NY State Indoor Ice Championship Overall with a win in tonight's A final and then a win in a 4 lap runoff race with Ronny Kemp for the title. Ronny also rode great. Our thoughts go out to Dee Holden tonight. She got run into and hit the wall. She did get up under her own power but was clearly in discomfort and went to the hospital for evaluation. She was doing very well in her races.

Shawn McConnell won runoff for the title against Ronny Kemp.

New York Ice Championships set for April 10/11 at Chenango Ice Rink

East Coast Speedway Promotions

The NY State Indoor Ice Championships are set for April 10/11 at The Chenango Ice Rink.

We did have the Broome County Arena reserved for Saturday but the Arena staff realized they will not have enough time after the hockey game on the 10th to build the ice thick enough for the race.

If the events at Chenango Ice rink are well attended we already have a deal in place to have an event at Broome next winter and the event at Chenango will become an annual one.

More details on prices and times will be announced next week. For more information on the chenango arena visit www.chenangoicerink.com

Riders,

All Speedway bikes must have front and rear fender guards that come down to axle level. For all riders, the pit gate will not open until at least 5:30 so DO NOT show up any earlier with the exception of the two riders bringing the hay bales. EVERYONE who wishes to pass through the pit gate blocked area near the back of the arena will have to pay PIT PASS price of $20.00. Sign up fees will be $40.00 for each rider. Junior Speedway and Minis will be $25.00. No Memberships or additional fees will be required though. The pits will be OUTSIDE so prepare accordingly. There is not much parking room for participants so please carpool and bring as small of vehicles as possible.

Thanks, looking forward to a fun weekend.

We are pleased to announce that it seems pretty certain we will be hosting an indoor ICE Championship in NY the weekend of April 10/11. At present we have two Arenas in Binghamton reserved and we will be making a decision on what night will be at which Arena next week after we know the answers as to whether or not one of the Rinks will have enough time to thicken the ice to our needs for the event. We already have a great rider lineup, multi-time ICE World Champion, Warren Diem, has signed up plus 3-time US Open dirt Champion and winner of the XIIR Elmira Round, Shawn McConnell, will be racing along with some other very good racers. It is hoped that Ice Speedway Legend, George Lazor, will take part in special match races with Gene Bonsignore and Frank Watson.
