Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend primed for May 2 & 3

The Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood invades the red clay next week on Friday and Saturday May 2nd and 3rd!

Both nights feature Winged 360 Sprint Cars, with the opener handing out $5,000-to-win, while Sunday’s finale dishes out $8,000-to-win.

Complementing the Winged Warriors will be the USCS Non-Winged Sprinters both nights. The series that includes a mixture of 410s and 360s has produced exciting racing since its debut and should be fun to watch on the red clay quarter mile.

The double header will also showcase the rich history of Placerville Speedway as we honor the 60th anniversary season. Legends Weekend has become a can’t miss affair with several names from the days gone by on hand, along with numerous vintage cars turning laps and on display.

Grandstand seating is General Admission at the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout/ Legends Weekend presented by Berco Redwood, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time via www.placervillespeedway.com 

The pit gate will open at noon both days, with the front gate opening at 4pm. Hirst Home Team Happy Hour is offered until 6pm in the grandstands featuring live music with discounted Coors Light and Coors Original at the beer booth. The pit meeting will be held at 4:30pm with cars on track at 5:15. Hot laps, ADCO Driveline qualifying and racing will follow.
