For those wondering why the In lieu of flowers request. As you know Pete's been in a chair some 24 years. Back when he first got hurt there was no money to put a ramp on or to modify the house. A group of his friends got together and held a benefit to raise the money for the upgrades. It helped so much that every year the town hosts a fund raising fair with games and dunk tank, live music, farmers market, auctions etc... 100% of proceeds go to benefit Westminster residents faced with tragedy - Pete sat on the board of course... What started out to help one friend continues to help a whole community!

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!
