Happy July 4th!

Celebrate Independence Day at Ona Speedway!

There will be tons of things going on - pun intended – Keaton’s Complex Monster Trucks and More show, regulars in short track racing and FIREWORKS!

I will admit to having lost the zeal for home fireworks after the Scottown, Ohio, fire a few years ago. I was one of dozens of reporters covering that tragedy.

But if professionals are setting off fireworks, OK. That I can deal with.

Back to the track. There will be an outdoor freestyle event with the trucks and there’s more. Doug Danger, who has bested Evel Knievel’s longest car jump will be at the track with his motorcycle. Jim “Crash” Moreau, a stuntman who crashes cars and blows himself up, will perform, too.

And your favorite local racers will take to the track before the fireworks display ends the evening.

Tickets are $15 for adults and kids 12 and under $5. Pit gate opens at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4 p.m. and racing starts at 6 p.m.
