Speedrome Figure 8 History Grows with
School Bus Action May 30
Indianapolis, IN (May 4, 2010)
- The World’s Home of the Figure 8® has one
of those do-not-miss events ahead on the 2010 Motorsports schedule.
On Sunday May 30th,
the Crash-A-Rama Series strolls into the city. The show at the
Indianapolis Speedrome® will be a pure Night of Destruction!
The evenings action-packed agenda includes a School Bus Figure
8, Skid Car Race, Boat & Camper Trailer Race, Heavy Metal Auto
Roller Derby, a Fireworks Display, a Stunt Show, and much more!
In the past, these highly enjoyable shows have led to maximum capacity
at the 69-year-old facility and this should be no different. Advance
VIP Reserved Seat discount tickets are available.
Advance VIP Reserved Seat Tickets are $15 (VIP Tickets are $20
on the May 30 Day of Show)
Adult General Admission Seats are $15
Kids General Admission for Ages 6-11 are $10
And as always at the Speedrome, Kids Ages 5 & Under are Free
You can get your tickets today via charge by phone at (317) 353-8206
or stop by the Speedrome Pit Office.
The Speedrome is proud to have back School Bus Figure 8. It has
been nearly a decade since the very popular event has been on our
racing surface. Kids stand out in front of the house Monday thru
Friday waiting on the big yellow bus to pick them up for school.
On many occasions, children have thought about their driver trading
some paint on the way to class. And now those youngsters and their
parents can witness just this very thing! The large and awkward
machines will take the challenge of maneuvering around the famed
crossover course just hours after the Indy 500.
There is an infamous list of wild daredevil drivers already signed
up for this Crash-A-Rama Series action. The notable notorious names
of Ronnie "Racing Ronnie" Adams, Sean "Crazy Cuban" Michaels,
Ben "DJ Benjammin" Craft, Jimmy "Flying Elvis" Gnojek,
Dave "Boston Dave" Lavine, Jay "Mad Man Murphy" Murphy,
Jay "Violent Jay" Trocki, and George "Moe" Knauer
are raring to go in this extravaganza. There are many hometown
talents getting machinery ready as well. The Crash-A-Rama Series
program launches at 7:30pm Sunday night May 30th putting a bow
on an all-star Memorial Day Speedrome racing weekend schedule that
is unprecedented (see a full listing below).
The Speedrome Figure 8 tradition dates back to the 1940’s.
Over the next few decades, a bevy of stockcar classes tested the
dangerous intersection. The 1960’s brought many legendary
drivers to the motorsports form elevating Figure 8 to regional
and national status. In 1977, the most grueling event ever was
launched, the World Figure 8® Championship Three Hour Endurance
Race®. Since then, heralded last names like St John, Arnold,
Tunny, Lee, Dossey, Douthitt, McMurtrey, Greig, and oh so many
more have entertained thousands of Speedrome faithful on the Figure
8. Several of the track’s current best are jockeying for
driver spots in this upcoming School Bus event. Who will win and
who will suffer the agony of defeat May 30?
