A special thanks goes out to “Big” Mike Grosswendt and All Coast Construction for their support of the event. Mike has been a major supporter of Sprint Car racing on the West Coast for several years and his contributions are appreciated very much. Woodland Auto Display and Jimbo McCoskey have also bolstered the race and over 50 racers have entered the “All Coast Challenge.” In addition to the USAC/CRA contingencies, the fast qualifier will earn $500, the hard charger will take home $500, the winner will get $5,000 and a custom surfboard, second will pocket $2,500, and third will earn $1,250. The action packed 40-lap main event will pay $500-to-start.

Woodland Auto Display Time Trials are underway. 33 cars out  so far and #10 Richard Vander Weerd leads with a 12.351

Saturday’s “All Coast Challenge” will mark the 17th appearance of the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. “The Ripper” Rip Williams claimed the inaugural Ventura USAC/CRA main event on May 22, 2004 on his way to the championship. Since then, nine drivers have earned victories and “The Kruser” Cory Kruseman leads all racers with six wins. Last season, “The Demon” Damion Gardner led all 30-laps at Ventura to score one of his eleven triumphs. “The Bullet” Blake Miller holds the 1-lap series record of 11.675, set on October 28, 2008. Ventura’s all-time 410 non-winged track record of 11.527 was posted on October 1, 1994 by “The Flying Shoe” Ron Shuman.

Currently tied for eleventh in points, “The Flying Peanut” Parker Colston of Lake Elsinore, California leads the chase for Rookie of the Year honors. Michael Curtis, Anthony Lopiccolo, and Tommy Malcolm are also in contention.

#10 Richard Vander Weerd earns 4th career USAC/CRA Woodland Auto Display Fast Time Award with 12.351 and $500, followed by Roa Faas Taylor Mitchell Kruseman R.Gardner J.VanderWeerd Schuerenberg Sheridan
