Little Valley Speedway and “Relay for Life” Join Forces for Opener
 
(Little Valley, NY) Little Valley Speedway, the fast half mile dirt track located at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds in Little Valley, NY, is set to open its 2013 season on Sunday, May 26th, when it presents the Memorial Day Late Model Special, sponsored by Close Racing Supply. It will also be Relay for Life Night, with activities planned to benefit the Ellicottville Relay for Life, an organization dedicated to the fight against cancer.
 
The racing program will include a 30 lap, $3,000 to win feature for the highly competitive Super Late Models, led by 2012 champion Jason Dupont, along with the BRP Can Am 360 Late Models, led by champion John Waters, racing for a $1,000 first place check. The action-filled card will also see the E-Mods, paced by champion Randy Hall, with $750 going to the winner, the Crate Late Models, with a $750 check for the first one over the line, and the Street Stocks, vying for $500 first place money.
 
Joining the festivities will be the Ellicottville Relay for Life, one of 19 such events, sponsored by different communities in Western New York, which will conduct several fund raising activities during the evening. All of the track’s proceeds from the 50/50 draw will be donated, while a number of drivers will circulate through the stands with their helmets seeking donations for the cause. In addition, Relay for Life decals will be on sale to all drivers, and a bonus will be awarded to any winning driver displaying the decal. There will also be an information table set up in the grandstand concourse.
 
All funds raised from this effort will be channeled to the American Cancer Society for patient programs and research to continue the fight against this deadly disease.
 
Gates open at 3:00, with hot laps at 5:30, and racing at 6:30. Adult admission is $14, with those under 12 admitted free.
 
The Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds are located on Rt. 353 in Little Valley, New York. The only true half mile in the area is easily accessible, just a few miles north of the Salamanca exit of I-86. It is also only eight miles from the resort town of Ellicottville and US Rt. 219. Fan amenities include free parking, a covered grandstand, free camping with hookups, and great food, all in a picturesque setting. For those interested in arriving early or staying later, there is a first class casino in Salamanca, and Alleghany State Park, the jewel of the New York State Park system is only a short distance away.
