Sacramento, CA – February 7, 2011…Reigning Golden State 410 Series champion Kyle Larson of Elk Grove, CA will be on hand signing autographs at the King of the West Sprints booth this Friday night during the annual Sacramento Autorama.
The Golden State KWS booth will be located in Building C at the 61st Sacramento Autorama and Larson will be signing autographs from 6pm to 9pm on Friday night. The series show car will be located in the booth and fans are invited to sit in the car and take pictures if wanted.
The KWS booth will be part of a Northern California motorsports display that also includes Calistoga Speedway, which will feature the famed Walt Ross No. 56 Special on hand. In addition to that, USAC will also have a booth as part of the display and will have Tony Hunt’s Western States championship winning car in attendance.

To be eligible for the car and engine giveaways drivers must run 95% of the events with the series.
