CENTRE FOR SPEED: SPEEDWAY OFFERS ITS LARGEST 100 LAP SPORTSMAN PURSE

Sportsman Super Series Race 1 Scheduled for Sunday, June 11 @ 2PM

SHEDIAC, NB – The CENTRE for Speed's first "Sportsman Super Series" event is slated for this weekend, Sunday June 11th and the speedway hopes to kick off the 5 race challenge for sportsman teams with a bang.

Among the special incentive aimed at incenting top teams to attend which is intended is the speedways largest Sportsman 100 purse, in excess of $6000 including $2000 to win. The intent of the series is to pit top Sportsman Drivers against each other in a test of skill and endurance for fun and glory over at various distances and at 2 speedways in 2006.

The Events have been scheduled to to allow the maximum number of competitors to attend without conflict to their local schedules as much as possible. The CENTRE has also scheduled lots of fun activities throughout the Series of races, weather permitting, before and after the events including partnerships with third party events and concerts to make sure everyone has a great time in Shediac, regardless of their finish.

On the competition side, one appealing twist to the series is that a competitor who attends as few as 3 events could win the Series Championship which is determined by calculating the best points average, not total points. This recognizes that not all competitors can attend all 5 events. On the other hand competitors are encouraged to attend more events by the ability to "discard" their worst result.

"We're hoping this couple of unique features will increase the number of teams who will want to try for the championship and it'll incent more drivers to come more often", said Tim Wile, GM. "We've always had good success in getting the drivers out with our big events because we always pay well, have a great facility for large races, and try to treat everyone fairly" added Wile.

"I'm hoping for a good count this Sunday if we can get some weather", he concluded. As of this morning 18 teams from throughout the region have registered to attend. Race 1 gets underway this Sunday at 2 PM at the CENTRE. Pre registration is required by calling 506 388-2415.
CENTRE for Speed is located 5 kms from Parlee Beach on Route 133, Shediac.
