What We Do

Sideways Promotions 20th Anniversary Tour

1989, the year it all started. What began as 3 races in New Hampshire to revive motorcycle dirt track, a sport that dates back to the 1920’s has grown into a motor sports promotion company involved in over 30 events a year. The plan was the same now as it was then, to promote quality family style events. The trip has crisscrossed New England Fairs, race tracks, special events and static shows. We have been indoors and out, raced on pavement, dirt and ice, promoted 4 year olds on bikes and karts to Monster Trucks and Doug Danger.
We learned from the best in the business working for Clear Channel Entertainment, New Hampshire International Speedway, Stafford Motor Speedway, Seekonk Speedway, Checkered Flag Productions, Rochester Fairgrounds and Bangor Fairgrounds. The list also includes other Fairgrounds, smaller motorcycle and automobile tracks.
Sideways Promotions is looking forward to our 20th Anniversary Tour! We have more wild intermission entertainment planned, more Expert riders dicing for the cash and more young kids to watch! In these economic times people want to be entertained more than ever. We look forward to seeing you at a race or Fair!

Sideways Promotions President Pete Giammalvo started riding at 8 years old and his first race (and win!) was at 14 riding a Hodaka 125 at Lake Whalom unstudded class. In 1978 he started promoting ice races for the city of Gardner MA Winter Carnival with a great run of 4 seasons. A career change stopped his promoting but not his racing. In 1987 a diving accident resulted in a broken neck and leaving Pete a quadriplegic in a wheelchair. After 14 years successfully racing bikes and 5 years of car ice racing, his career as a racer were done. Loving the sport, Pete decided it was time to get back in the promoting business. A year doing ice races for the Athol MA Lions Club and back to the dirt! 1989 Sideways Promotions was started with a plan. To put on good quality events that keep the fans happy, pay the riders decent and to have our own track so our youth can train to become Professional riders. As Sideways grew there have been ups and downs but Pete’s never give up attitude has persevered in the long run. The dream of a lifetime is coming together as riders from the northeast are becoming recognized nation wide for their accomplishments!

Sideways Promotions is a multi-purpose promotions company doing business in the northeast. We specialize in Professional and Amateur flat track racing but we are also very experienced in other forms of motor sports. Sideways Promotions can offer specialized shows or racing from freestyle exhibitions to monster trucks. We do special events on pavement, dirt and ice, indoors or out. Please contact us for more information.

PRESS RELEASE

TR3 RAKE PRESS RELEASE - Sideways Promotions would like to announce a new outside the motorcycle industry Sponsor for the New England Dirt Track Series 2006 season. Absolute Innovations LLC has the ultimate ground prep tool for any dirt race track: oval or motocross. The TR3 Rakes is the top choice at thousands of tracks, arenas and fairgrounds across North America. Sideways Promotions President Pete Giammalvo says,

"Promoting motorcycle races at different tracks has always been a big challenge because everyone has different equipment to prepare the soil. I have tried all kinds of equipment and the TR3 Rake is the one piece that does it all. From loosening the soil to get moisture in, grading in between races and even to fluff the dirt after a rainstorm, it does it all. We also grade the roads and parking areas at our club track, Wachusett Valley Riders. Traveling all over New England like we do allows me to transport 1 piece of equipment instead of a variety of attachments. With more back yard practice tracks being built Absolute Innovations has equipment from 4’ wide that can be pulled with an atv or truck to 14’ wide commercial applications. Being a stubborn old "Yankee from New England" I was doubtful till I watched the video and read their money back guarantee. They believe in their product 100% and so do I."
