August 30, 2005....This Friday and Saturday September 2-3, the final events of the 2005 Bandit/VRA Grand Slam Series will take place at Ventura Raceway at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.The weekend starts off on Friday night with qualifications for the 360 sprinters, heat races for the Western States Dwarf Cars, a qualifying race for dwarf cars that will seed ten cars to their Saturday main event and a stand alone main event for sprint cars that will feature the top five Bandit drivers in their season points who are in attendance and the top five VRA drivers in season points in attendance with twelve added starters from Friday's qualifications. They will run a 30 lap race that will pay a normal VRA purse. It is a non points event that has no bearing on Saturdays final event in the Bandit/VRA four race series that has run at Hanford, Santa Maria and Bakersfield so far. On Saturday the dwarf cars will run their semi mains to transfer their final cars to their feature and the sprints will run their heat races lined up by Friday's qualifying speeds, their semis and their main event, which will pay $2,000 to win and $200 to start in the 22 car field. The pit gate will open at 1:00pm on Friday with driver's meeting at 3:30 and cars will go on the track at 4:00pm for warm-ups and hot laps. Qualifying will follow hot laps.
