USAC WEST COAST SPRINTS READY FOR 21 EVENT SLATE IN 2016

*

Twenty-one events are set for the 2016 USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series season with races at eight different venues in Arizona, Nevada and California.

*

Five non-points-paying “Special Events” will open the season on January 22-23-24-29-30 in the “Winter Challenge:” a series of races held in conjunction with the USAC Southwest Sprint Car Series at Canyon Speedway in Peoria, Arizona.

The first points race of the season for the West Coast Sprints will also be held with the Southwest Sprints in a battle for series bragging rights at the “Sin City Showdown” as part of the FVP “Outlaw Showdown” at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway on March 4.

*

The first of seven series events at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California commences on March 11-12 with two complete shows on consecutive nights at the high-banked 1/3-mile clay oval.* The West Coast Sprints will also make trips to Tulare on April 9 alongside the USAC Western Midget Series, April 23, May 14 and another doubleheader weekend on July 22-23.

*

Other events scattered throughout the state of California in 2016 include a visit to Bakersfield Speedway on March 19.* The series offers three trips to Hanford’s Keller Auto Speedway at Kings Fairgrounds on April 2, June 25 with the Western Midgets, and the West Coast Sprint Series season’s final points race on August 13.

*

Santa Maria Raceway hosts the West Coast Sprints on June 18 and August 6 while Ocean Speedway in Watsonville welcomes the series on August 12.* The series will make its debut as part of the festivities for the 76th running of the “Turkey Night Grand Prix” at Ventura Raceway with a non-points-paying “Special Event.”
