I haven’t been there in prolly 15 years but am going to be in Gainesville on Saturday and thought I might stop by on the way home. Anyone been there lately or know anything about how their shows have been?
According to their FaceBook page:
6/15 SATURDAY EVENING at Bronson Speedway
Gates open 4:30pm
Practice 5:30 pm
Show starts 7:30PM
Sportsman, Purestock, Hornets, StrictlyStock, Spectator Race, Legends, Bandolero
They also have some sort of FaceBook “promotion”:
Bronson Speedways Facebook Promotion…every week…Write your favorite drivers name and car number on a piece of paper along with your email address and trade it in at the window for a 5 dollar grand stand admission ticket. Affordable family fun at Bronson Speedway.
…although I’m not real sure what all this has to do with FaceBook…
Then they had this very cool promotion back in April (dated April 1, 2013):
PSSSSST… Its Leah’s 8th birthday, so anyone who mails a Birthday Card to:
LEAH YOUNG
c/o Bronson Speedway
PO Box 540
Bronson, Fl 32621…will receive 10 “buy one get one free” grandstand tickets…(can be used on 4/6 or any other racing event night)
***tickets must be picked up at the track and will be in the registration booth.
If you go to Bronson then please come back and tell us how it was up there. Have not been there in almost a year myself…

well I never made it there as I ended up staying late at the birthday celebration I was at- LOL but I am planning on Ellisville next weekend for their 50 lap sportsman show.
BTW they have a 30 second youtube video promoting that race and I believe they are using it on tv around the Lake City area. Seems like they are trying over there and the LM show a couple weeks ago was good- Shelnut had that thing on rails.

Yes he did and took the win with Wayne Anderson in 2nd. Bronson canceled last night due to only 8 cars in the pits from 3 divisions. Some of them left and rushed to Ellisville to make our race. That’s how it has been over there all season. Management problems.
Hope to see you at Ellisville for some great racing this Saturday. I’ll be there too with the OWM.

well I’ve heard and read that there are some management issues at Bronson and that’s too bad cause it is a cool little track.
I used to be there or Columbia every weekend from '92 thru '97 then I moved from Gainesville to Tallahassee.
On the other hand it looks like the Fords have Columbia going in the right direction and I wish them the best of luck.
Trouble at Bronso
Hello there Mr. Elkoldtimer,
If you want to see some truly good racing, stop in this weekend at Ellisville Speedway. The word is that there will be a packed pit area with not only Sportsman for the 50 lap $1000 to win race, but full of cars from all the other divisions. We expect to have a packed house, so get there early and plan on staying for the entire show. We will finish off the evening with the 50 lap Sportsman race.
Cannot verify any of the unsubstantiated information about Bronson Speedway. Although they did cancel last week because of rain. (spoke to people that live right near the track and they said they never had a drop)
Enjoy Ellisville Speedway
