NORTH COAST, Calif. – Local residents can celebrate America’s Independence with an exciting night of racing and fireworks happening at Ukiah Speedway Independence Day weekend.

Thanks to the generous contributions from Lake County Tribal Health, Friedman’s Home Improvement and Community First Credit Union, with support from Furia Construction, Max 93.5 FM, 94.5 Kwine and Bicoastal Media fireworks will be taking place at dusk at Ukiah Speedway on Saturday, July 6.

Engines will be revving Saturday in Ukiah where the racing continues featuring the BCRA Midgets, Vintage Midgets, Focus Midgets, Sprint Cars, Pro 4 Modifieds, Limited Modifieds and Bombers.

Gates will open at each track at 3:30 p.m. and racing will begin at 6 p.m. with the exciting ground show fireworks happening during the program on Saturday night.

Race promoter David Furia has been the mastermind behind bringing the fireworks to the Speedway for the last six years.

Furia is excited about this year’s show. “The show is an incredible in-your-face display of fireworks and pyrotechnics. The style of fireworks that will be presented will astound
and amaze every person in the grandstands. This will be the fireworks show that will make people wish they had been there. The crew puts on a great show and we have never been disappointed.”

Tickets to either race are $15 for adults; seniors and students, $12; children 6 to 11, $8; and children 5 and under are admitted free.

There will be a $5 fee for parking in the Ukiah fairgrounds parking lot. However, the parking stub is redeemable at the ticket gate for $5 off one gate entry for the race and fireworks show.
