SPORT COMPACT CARS HIGHLIGHT RACEWAY SCHEDULE
by Lee Elder

VENTURA, Calif. (March 18, 2008) – The Ventura Racing Association’s Sport Compact racers will make their second appearance of the 2008 season March 22, joining five other classes of racecars at Seaside Park.

The Sport Compact class is the successor to the old Mini Stock class and is among the longest-running classes in track history. The VRA rules allow front-wheel drive cars to compete with rear-wheel drive racers in an entry level-type car.

Also on scheduled are the VRA Sprint Cars, VRA Junior Midgets, VRA Mini Dwarfs, VRA Dwarf cars and the IMCA Modifieds.

Spectator gates open at 3 p.m. The Junior Midgets and Mini Dwarfs classes, which are the track’s youth divisions, start racing at 3:30. The first green flag for the adult divisions is scheduled to fly at 5:30 p.m.


Raceway notes: A total of 209 drivers have raced at Ventura Raceway in the first two weeks of the season…The track averages 104.5 racers per night so far this year…Six drivers have taken their first class victory at Ventura in the first two nights of the 2008 season…Tyler Edwards became the first 2008 winner from outside of California when he won the Junior Focus Midget feature on March 15. Edwards lives in Oklahoma…In two races, 34 drivers have scored Ventura Racing Association points in the Sprint Car division…There were only 12 USAC Focus Midgets at Ventura on March 15, but the VRA Junior Focus Midgets, which develops young drivers and feeds the Focus Midget program, attracted 14 drivers on the same night…Cars in the Sport Compact class seldom roll over more than three or four times in a season, but a car rolled in each of the two heat races on March 15.
