Wednesday night at Ventura
 

What events will be run Wednesday night at Ventura? Qualifying? Heats? Qualifiers? Semis? I'd like to know before I decide to purchase the pay-per-view. Thanks.

Full program for USAC West Coast sprints and practices for the midgets. At least thats what it's been.

Im getting thurs only this year. Watch the start times.

Thank you.

Bob, we had the same questions so I e-mailed SpeedshiftTV and their broadcast begins with practice and will start at 5:30 PM Central Standard Time (3:30 PM Pacific Time) on Wednesday evening. She couldn't give me a broadcast starting time for Thanksgiving Night as they haven't established that yet.

According to the Ventura Raceway website the USAC/VRA Sprint Cars will be in action both Wednesday night and Thanksgiving Night but they do not specify whether both nights will consist of a full show or not. No mention is made as to what extent the midgets are racing either night. I sent them an e-mail asking for clarification regarding the midgets but haven't yet received a reply at this point. When I do I'll let you know. Over the past few years I've had very little success in getting replies from VR so I won't hold my breath.
