The Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno Westcar Late Model Series has made an adjustment to its previously announced 2007 schedule.
After a mutual decision between Westcar and Shasta Raceway Park promoter George Wade, the series will not contest the August 18th event at the Anderson, CA speed plant.
The date overlapped with Stockcar Racing League competition in Colorado, and was the only such disputed date on either schedule. The series will share a headlining bill at Altamont Motorsports Park on August 4th.
With increased support from the Eldorado Hotel Casino, the seven race slate will be promoted as both the “Tour of Champions” and the “777 series.” The #7 is the number players of slots love to see, and for Late Model fans in Northern California, Westcar should be the same in 2007.
Among the benefits of the support of Eldorado, the series opener at Ukiah Speedway will now be known as the “Eldorado 100” and pay $3000 to win. The full purse breakdown, that tops $11,500 for the feature alone, is published on the series website.
2007 series rules are being added to the website as well.
