BRONSON
SPEEDWAY ANNOUNCES TOUR TYPE MODIFIED
TIRE POLICY FOR FEBRUARY 18TH EVENT |
 Bronson
Speedway owner & promoter Ann Young announced
Tuesday the tire policy that will be in effect for
the Kickoff To Speedweeks 50 Powered By Sunoco Race
Fuels for the Tour Type Modifieds Saturday February
18th. In what many would consider a rarity in modern
day short track racing Young disclosed both American
Racer and Hoosier Racing Tire brands will be
permitted for the 600 horsepower machines.
"Bronson Speedway will be transitioning to the
American Racer Tire brand for our 2017 season as our
official track tire" Young noted but also added,
"we'll have the American Racer Tire on hand for Tour
Type Modified teams at $150 per tire. While we would
prefer teams to use the American Racer Tire we will
allow teams to compete on Hoosier Racing Tires for
the Kickoff To Speedweeks 50 Powered By Sunoco Race
Fuels".
Those teams who'd rather run on the Hoosier brand
can either bring their own tires or order/purchase
their Hoosiers at New Smyrna Speedway and notify
officials at Bronson Speedway, "I will send a truck
to New Smyrna and transport your Hoosier tires to
Bronson for you" Ann offered. It should be noted if
teams choose to run Hoosier tires they must be the
same compound tire allowed at New Smyrna Speedway.
As for the teams that opt to bring their own Hoosier
Racing Tires, Young put forth a stern warning, "We
DO NOT ALLOW the soaking of tires and we will be
very vigilant with our tire durometer. Our goal and
effort is to keep this race as affordable as
possible to facilitate a great turnout of Tour Type
Modifieds"
To that end while most major asphalt Tour Type
Modified races as well race series lock race teams
into one tire brand or another the Kickoff To
Speedweeks 50 Powered by Sunoco Race Fuels is indeed
"thinking outside the box" in allowing the use of
both the American Racer Tire and Hoosier Racing Tire
in 2017.
No matter the tire brand teams chose the Tour Type
Modified teams will have the opportunity to sake
down their machines Friday afternoon February 17th
when Bronson Speedway will host a Test & Tune
session. Pit gates will open for the session at 12
noon with cars taking to the track at 2:00 pm
Bronson Speedway is located at 9950 NE State Road 24
in Archer, Florida 32618 and can be reached by
dialing 352-486-4998.
