High Sierra Wingless Shootout hits Placerville this weekend


The High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout invades Placerville Speedway this Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day Weekend.


The Wingless Spec Sprints will entertain the crowd with their exciting brand of Sprint Car racing, as they accompany the Winged 360 Sprint Cars each night.


Opening night on Saturday August 31st will offer $2,000-to-win/ $200-to-start, while the Sunday finale on September 1st pays out a stout $5,000-to-win/ $300-to-start for the Wingless Warriors.


Last season saw San Jose driver Shawn Jones snag victory on opening night of the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout, before Mother Nature captured the finale.  


The double header this weekend will also showcase the rich history of Placerville Speedway like everyone has come to love during Legends Night. The event had become so popular however, that it’s now coined as Legends Night(s) “The Epic Double.”


The Winged 360 Sprint Cars will be vying for $5,000-to-win this Saturday, while the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood finale offers $8,000-to-win.
