Practice Day

The practice day scheduled for tomorrow is still a go. We were able to seal the track and the rain didn't affect us that must. I have a little more work to do today after the sun comes out and then we will be ready for practice tomorrow. Gates open at 11am, practice from 11am to 4pm. We will need wheel packing so please help out as we can not put cars at race speed until the track is packed. Thanks and hope to see you all tomorrow, Scott

Division Sponsor Sticker

All classes must comply with the following rule regarding division sponsor stickers. Somehow they have been removed from the rules page, but I will have them re listed for all home classes. All cars must have a 5 inch black visor covering the top portion of the windshield reserved for the division sponsor sticker supplied by the track. You may not have them made by outside companies to match your colors, only stickers supplied by the track. The division sponsors are a very important part of our program and me must comply with this rule. This rule applies to Hobby, American, Mini and Jr Mini. Imca modifieds will be given a sticker to be placed to a certain area on the side of the car. Thanks Scott

Billy Moyer will race Bakersfield

3 time WoO late model champion and 5 time World 100 winner Billy Moyer is confirmed to race the Bakersfield Speedway. "Mr Smooth" from Batesville, Arkansas will be among the many scheduled drivers in the late model season opener March 10th. Billy Moyer will be racing the 2 day WAS event in Las Vegas, then make the short trip over to Bakersfield for another night of action. Moyer will be driving a car fielded by Mike Johnson. This is great news to have a famous driver as Billy Moyer to visit our track and compete. This is shaping up to be a very exciting night of racing. Scott

Pit Bike Police

Due to the negative emails I've received over the pit bike fee, I've decided to make a adjustment. I have a opening for the pit police. Your job is to police the pit bike situation. You will write and collect fine for violators breaking the rules. You will receive all fines you collect as your pay. The track keeps nothing. The more you write the more you make. If interested email name and number to scott@bakersfieldspeedway Bakersfield Speedway is a EOE

Pit Bikes

Pit bikes, golf carts or any other motorized transportation gas or electric will no longer be allowed in the pits for free. As of 2007 we will be charging a fee to bring these types of things into the pits. They have created a large amount of problems for us in the past and this is the first step to help control the problem. Thanks Scott
