By Bill Sullivan

PLACERVILLE, CA – Following the racing promoters workshop in Reno, the office of John Padjen Motorsports has released the official schedule for the 2007 racing season at Placerville Speedway, located on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville. Under the title sponsorship of the El Dorado County New Car Dealer Association, Hoosier Racing Tires and Coors Light Placerville Speedway’s 42nd year of operation will host a total of 25 events and a variety o racing venues between March and October.

The 2007 racing season will begin one week earlier then previous seasons with the Hoosier Tires California Sprint Car Civil War Series. This traveling campaign for 360 cubic inch sprint cars will compete in a record 15 events in the season to come. This season will mark the first time Placerville Speedway is slated to host the official series opener after officials of the new Marysville Raceway Park agreed to hold only two Civil War events in the year to come.

The Civil War series will return to Placerville Speedway for a total of four additional events this year, returning on May 5 for the fourth annual Family Cadillac Tribute to Al Hinds. This special event, sponsored by Family Cadillac of Shingle Springs, will pay tribute to one of the speedway’s early promoters, the late Al Hinds of Placerville. The feature winner on this special night of racing will take home $3000 courtesy of the local auto dealership who has sponsored this event since Hinds’ passing in 2004.

Additional Civil War dates at Placerville Speedway include Saturday night June 23rd with the competitive series will be joined for the very first time by the fire breathing wingless midgets of the Bay Cities Racing Association. The series returns on August fourth and will crown the Civil War champion here at the season ending event on Saturday September 29.

The 410 cubic inch sprint cars of the Golden State Challenge Series will make two appearances here in the year to come. The first appearance of the season will be one week following the Civil War opener on March 24. The GSC returns for the second date on June 2.

The weekly championship campaign will at Placerville Speedway will begin on March 31 with 360 sprint cars headlining the program and being joined by the late model stock car division known as the Pro Stocks and the always populated Pure Stock division. During each weekly point race, the three track regulars will be joined by a visiting division which will rotate throughout the season among the Wingless Sprint Cars of the John Padjen Motorsports twin track championship, the Midget Lites of the Bay Cities Racing Association and the Nor Cal Dwarf Car Association.

The wingless sprint cars will compete in a twin track championship for the third straight year. Each driver will earn championship points at both Placerville and Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. The accumulative points will determine the season champion and will also name the starting grid for the second annual Wingless Sprint Invitational that opens the prestigious Gold Cup in Chico in September. Placerville Speedway host six wingless dates in 2007 while Silver Dollar Speedway will see the division a total of 20 times for a combined total of 26 races in the co-track campaign.

The Nor Cal Dwarf Cars will compete at Placerville on six different nights this coming year. The wingless Midget Division of the Bay Cities Racing Association will appeare twice while the Midget Lites will compete eight different times.
