MIDGETS, SPRINT CARS, AND DWARF CARS 
AT VENTURA RACEWAY

(Oxnard, CA., June 8, 2005)  Ventura Raceway is proud to host a very special program this Saturday night June 11, 2005.  On that night the USAC Midgets, VRA Sprint Cars and VRA Dwarf Cars will be in action on Ventura Raceway’s 1/5 mile Ventura Raceway clay, banked, bullring.  It is sure that they will stage a night of racing that those in attendance will long remember. The event will begin at 5pm at Ventura Raceway’s Seaside Park facility at the Ventura County Fairgrounds with qualifying of the USAC Midgets.  These cars are capable of hitting speeds in excess of 80 mph on the short straights.

All the top USAC Western States Midget drivers will be here Saturday night.  The regular USAC Midget stars will be led by point leader Robbie Flock who won his fiftieth feature earlier this season at Bakersfield, all time favorite Wally Pankratz who is in his farewell tour of his midget competition, and the rest of the outstanding drivers that make up this division.  These cars feature an awesome power to weight ratio that produces some of the most exciting racing to be seen anywhere on dirt.

Also racing on Saturday night is the VRA 360 Sprint Cars.  With over 35 cars expected, this class will also show the fans why racing at Ventura is considered some of the best anywhere.  Last weeks winner, and current point’s leader, Chris Wakim will be back to go for three in a row against some of the best 360 sprint car drivers in the US.   Blake Miller will try to close in on Wakim’s point’s lead that night.  Other drivers scheduled to appear include Kevin Kierce, Rob Kershaw, Joe Henderson, Greg Taylor, and many others.

The final class for Saturday night is the popular VRA Dwarf Cars.  Point leaders Brian Saxton in Pros and Mile Sweeney in Seniors will be back to try to keep their competitors behind them in the season long point’s battle.

Ventura Raceway will open the front gates for this event at 4:00pm Saturday afternoon.  Cars will be going on the track in warm-up sessions at 4:00pm with midget qualifying to follow at 5:00pm.  Racing is scheduled to get under way at 6:00pm.  Admission for this event is $14.00 for adults, $11.00 for seniors/military & juniors with a school photo id, kids 7-12 are $5.00 and kids 6 and under are FREE.  For more information, please call Ventura Raceway at (805) 985-5433 m-f from 8-6.
