By Lance Jennings
SANTA MARIA, CA – JUNE 10, 2011... Officials with the USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series and Giant Chevrolet Kings Speedway have announced that the make-up race for the rained out semi and main event from March 18th will be held on July 16th. Hanford's "Jim Evett Memorial" will now feature the make-up races, a complete show, plus IMCA Stock Cars and Mini Stocks.
The make-up races are only open to the cars and drivers that were in attendance for the season opener. Track officials plan to complete those events early in the program. After that, there will be a brief intermission for track prep and the regular scheduled portion of the "Jim Evett Memorial" will begin. This includes hot laps, time trials, heat races, a semi-main, and the 30-lap main event.
Officials with the Groppetti Automotive Thunderbowl Raceway have announced that they are canceling two shows at their lightning fast 1/3-mile facility. This includes the July 23rd event featuring the USAC West Coast 360 Sprints and winged ASCS Southern California Sprints. The next appearance for the traditional 360s at Tulare will be the season point finale on October 8th.
