Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesdays back at ‘Bowl May 2
Popular mid-week race program continues its focus on affordable family fun

Waterford, CT (April 28, 2012) – Waterford Speedbowl’s mid-week Wild ‘n
Wacky Wednesday racing program returns May 2, commencing a 21-week
campaign. As it has done since 2001, the popular Wednesday evening
program’s focus is on affordable family fun and memorable on-track action.

Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday offers adult grandstands admission of just $8.00
with all youth ages 14 and under receiving free grandstands admission.
Another mainstay at the Speedbowl - acres of free event parking – returns
for all events in 2012 continuing the track’s reputation as a
value-priced, family night out.

Track promoter Terry Eames points to the track’s history in the region as
a low-cost entertainment option. “The Speedbowl has offered an incredible
amount of entertainment for not a lot of money for 61 years. Wild ‘n
Wacky Wednesday is all about providing fun family experiences at low
prices. A twenty dollar bill goes pretty far on Wednesdays at the ‘Bowl”.

Affordable concessions offers fans everything from soft serve ice-cream,
meatball subs, sausage and pepper grinders and other track favorites such
as fried dough and a Speedbowl pizza recipe popular for decades. Gates
open at 5:30pm on Wednesdays, meaning ample time to take in the many
options the Speedbowl’s midway offers fans. Racing gets started at
7:00pm. Events are structured to allow fans and competitors to work their
day jobs, enjoy an evening of racing and fun, and be on their way home at
a reasonable hour as most events wrap up around 9:00pm.

No less than four divisions of racing make up each Wild ‘n Wacky
Wednesday, including Legend Cars, Bandoleros, Super X-Cars and X-Cars. A
weekly wacky race plus other attractions round out the schedule of events
for the season.

The Bandolero division showcases racing stars of tomorrow, as youths age 8
through their teen years develop their skills behind the wheel and offer
up action that leave many spectators in amazement at the level of
competition.

Legend Cars are the next step for many developing racers, with some as
young as age 12 and many teenage competitors competing for national
bragging rights. Rivalries are born as they take on veterans of the
racing wars. Fierce battles play out on the track, resulting in some of
the best racing action found in the entire Legend Cars division across the
country.

The X-Car and Super X-Car divisions are back as a strong foundation of the
affordable nature of Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesdays. Entry level four and eight
cylinder racing divisions enable those looking to work their way into the
sport or seeking the thrill of competition on a smaller budget ample track
time. Three and sometimes four-wide racing breaks out in
often-unpredictable racing action. The same divisions participate in a
weekly “wacky” race, rotating through various novelty races over the
course of the Wednesday season. Points will be kept and awarded to those
participating, culminating in a wacky champion being crowned for each the
X-Car and Super X-Car divisions.

Double Bandolero features, vintage racing exhibitions and even a visit by
the legendary Northeastern Midget Assocation’s NEMA Lite division on
August 15 highlight the summer calendar on Wednesday nights. A full
schedule of events for Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday is available by visiting
