2 questions: A) Are the CRA cars 360s or 410s? (B) If they're 410s, does everybody race together, or are USAC & CRA separate races?
On my way Thurs. morning, looking forward to my first visit there....

CRA are 410's. USAC & CRA will be racing under one banner this weekend. Pumped for my first visit to the PAS this week/weekend! Flying out of Philly tonight.

Just a heads up if you have never been there before....take some warm clothes with you. When the sun goes down it can get chilly there. The 1st time I went to Perris was in June of 2002. Arrived at the track at 5 p.m. with 81 degrees and sunshine wearing shorts, a t shirt and flip flops. I saw most people coming in carrying coats and I thought "why is everyone bringing coats with them?"....by 8 p.m. I knew why...lol Trust me you will need the warm clothes. Weather calls for Sunny and highs in the upper 70's all week. Have fun....you will enjoy Perris.

All who are going have a great time at The PAS! You can bank on some excellent wingless action, that's for sure. Wish we could make trip to SoCal this year for the Oval's. Made the trip West 3 times for the Oval's and once for Turkey Night. It's worth every minute and every dime.

And, what Cowboy says about when the sun goes down is damn straight. It's gonna' cool off, so be prepared.

Being from Pennsylvania, I should be able to be prepared for the cold

Being from North Central Illinois I can relate to your statement 100%.

Have a great time!

[rachasin]

I'm from South Dakota and have froze my butt off at the PAS!!!
Make sure and pack extra!!!

[JDFAST]

It's kinda odd, I've seen many visitors to west coast races freeze there ass, no matter if they come from the midwest or even Alaska. Tonight it will be 50 degrees at 9 pm.

For anyone visiting, dress for nice weather during the day (shorts), cold brezzy weather at night, and expect horrible traffic at all hours. LEAVE EARLY for the race track.

But on the bright side, this race has the most talent and equipment for a non wing race. It's one of the crown jewels for non wing racing, with the best of the west and midwest meeting at the PAS. It should be on everyone's bucket list

Perris is warm and balmy compared to Ventura.

The first time at Ventura my wife swore she had frost bite toes.
