Racing action at Brighton Speedway went unhindered by the story skies on Saturday, July 24th. The drizzly rain and overcast skies couldn’t keep the race fans away or the drivers at home and the crowd was awed by the action on the track as Deerhaven Farm & Garden and Lange & Fetter Ford brought the fans an awesome night of action.
With threatening skies and impending showers management decided that against all odds the race program would go on. With a late afternoon shower almost drowning even the most optimistic official the program went off without a hitch. School Buses, Stock Cars and 4 Wheelers hit the 1/3rd mile slick oval to the awe and fascination of the most dedicated dirt track fans in Ontario. As the night progressed, umbrellas popped up and down but the racing action continued undaunted.
To start the nights events Brighton Speedway inducted 4 new members to the Wall of Fame, recognizing the contributions of individuals who have greatly contributed to the success of the speedway and to grass roots motorsports in general. Gene Gunter; Ambassador, Kirk Mowat; Driver and Pit Crew, and Shelly and Earl Gregory; Driver & Ambassador, were the 2010 inductees.
