As far as auto racing, dirt track racing is the best. Lots of passing, banging... Modifieds and Coupes headline the many classes of racing. The winged sprints and other open wheel cars are lightning fast and maneuverable. Late Models and even 4-cylinder cars compete. By 6PM the stands are packed...BUT...there is plenty of parking and seating....ultimately you can find a seat where you want. Loved watching the skill of the #34 Richie Simmons Modified driver thread his way through traffic, making some gutsy moves, and winning the feature race. Concessions are good and reasonable. Amazing how well organized the entire event is. Admission price is low....far more value than anything else out there. Great family place. Besides, VT is a beautiful place. I have driven from NH and Maine for races at Bear Ridge....

I found out today just how truly amazing my daughter realy is. Thank you bear ridge for giving this apotinity. Another reason i give you...
Read moreIt has been 25 years since I have been to the track and I was pleasantly surprised! Excellent racing from all divisions! Very impressed with the track's persistent Covid compliance. Who ever runs the scoreboard well needs more experience. The cautions were slow. It didn't appear that there was adequate safety equipment on site. Fortunately there wasn't a serious need for it. The tow trucks really need upgrading or at least make them look better. Last night was a special night introducing the legendary cars. Use a script and speed it up. Over half the season and the trackside microphone doesn't work? I would definitely go again but hope someone picks up on some of...
