The 60 Over Special - A tribute to Doug HoffmanThe 42nd season opening event at Bridgeport Speedway is set for Saturday, March 30. The “60 Over Special”, featuring a 60-lap Race of Champions contest for the Big Block Modifieds, headlines the card. This special race paying tribute to Doug Hoffman, the late promoter of the track, can award the winner a cash prize of $6,060.60 with a $60 gambler’s fee via the “60 Over Challenge”. Brett Hearn, Billy Decker, Bobby Varin, JR Heffner, Pat Ward, Larry Wight, Jimmy Phelps, Billy Pauch, Duane Howard and Ryan Godown are just a few of the expected invaders. Bridgeport Speedway regulars like Jimmy Horton, Rick Laubach, Richie Pratt, Jr., Ryan Watt, Mike Barone, Eric Kormann, and Jesse Hill are looking forward to the challenge of fending off the stiff competition.
In addition, two other classes will be in action. The new Crate/Sportsman division is set to partake in the opening hand of their Poker Series with a 30-lap feature. The first race of the new Shoot-Out Series for the Outlaw Stock Cars will round out the card with the “Bill Reynolds Memorial 20” in memory of the former novelty stand owner at Bridgeport Speedway.
For this special opening day event, several additional activities are scheduled to take place. Katie Todorow, Miss Motorsports 2013, will be on hand. An Easter Egg Hunt will occur in the quarter mile pit area near the main grandstand entrance. A balloon launch is slated to be held before the first qualifying race takes place. Introduced last season and very popular with fans, the Big Block Modifieds will be staged on the midway behind the spectator stands. After being on display throughout the day, a restored “60 Over” 1986 Olsen Modified formerly driven by Doug Hoffman will pace the feature line-up. Just before the 60-lap race begins, the missing man formation will take shape on the 5/8th mile. Joette Hoffman, Doug’s daughter, will wave the green flag to get the contest, the first event of the 2013 Big Block Modified Poker Series, underway. All fans and crew members are encouraged to stand on the opening circuit and final tour of the race. Numerous new novelty items will be on sale during the day including a Doug Hoffman photo collage and memorial sticker. 2013 Poker Series shirts and hoodies can be purchased as well.
On Saturday, March 30, the pit gates swing open at 11:00 a.m. with the grandstand turnstiles opening at 1:00 p.m. Hot laps get cranked up at 3:00 p.m. and racing starts at 4:00 p.m. Adult (16 and older) admission for the opener will be $25 with students (10-15) being admitted for $12.
