|
(SEPTEMBER 30, 2008, PERRIS, CALIFORNIA) Racing fans will get extra bang for their bucks this Saturday night, October 4th, when the Lucas Oil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars race under Perris Auto Speedway's bright lights on the opening night of the Southern California Fair. A ticket to the fair on Saturday will fans into the races free. Adult tickets to the fair are $8.00 at the gate or $5.00 if you purchase online at socalfair.com. Qualifying will begin at 6:00 PM with racing at 7:00. Gates for the fair will open at 11:00 AM. Racing during a fair started nearly 100 years ago. The races were always the biggest show at the fair, but things began to change in the 1960s. Fairs began replacing the races with musical entertainment. Now days very few fairs around the country host races, but the tradition continues at some fairgrounds that have purpose built racetracks like Perris Auto Speedway on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. "It is great that the Southern California Fair continues to have us as part of the show every October," Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian said. "Lots of new fans come into the races for the first time for free and become regulars.” In addition to the races at night, fans can enjoy a plethora of fun and entertainment all day Saturday. "There will be so much for people to do at the fair on Saturday, we hope they come out and spend the entire day before the Sprint Car races," Kazarian smiled. "Monster Trucks will be on the track during the day and they have proved to be extremely popular every year. In addition there will be music, livestock, rides, games and lots and lots of tasty food. It is a great fair every year." One person looking forward to Saturday’s fair date is 2007 USAC/CRA champion Tony Jones of Norco. The exuberant 38-year old has dominated the action at The PAS since late August and has won the last three mains events at the track. His latest win came last Saturday night when he scored a hard fought victory over Santa Maria’s “Showtime” Danny Sheridan and “The Bullet” Blake Miller of Yorba Linda. Jones recent hot streak and win last Saturday catapulted him from seventh to fifth in the championship standings despite the fact that he is not running the full schedule in 2008. The Southern California Fair will run from October 4th through the 12th. Anyone wishing more information on the fair can visit their website at: .socalfair.com.
