This Friday night September 18th at Madera Speedway marks the final race event for the 2009 4-Banger Two Track Challenge. The series began back in April at the Chowchilla Speedway and will have competed three races on pavement and three races on dirt once complete. All six of the race events where staged on big shows to give the drivers the maximum exposure possible.
Fighting for the number one spot on the stage during the 2009 banquet in November in the Two Track Challenge Series is Miles Humphreys and Grant Koontz. Humphreys has 208 points to Koontz's 194 points going into this Friday night's championship.
Next year, in 2010 the series will consist of eight races, four on pavement and four on dirt with a back and fourth schedule, meaning one pavement race and then one dirt race. The series will have plenty of time between races to allow the teams a comfortable schedule.
Friday night the 18th is also the Hot Rod Show and Burnout Contest, and we are not talking old hippies here, were are talking tire blazing hot rods burning rubber down the front stretch at the Madera Speedway! If that is not enough, the Super Modifieds will have a special night time practice session, and the Whelen All American Series drivers will compete with just one more race in there championship left. All of this is just $5.00 for an adult ticket Friday Night! Gates open at 5:00pm.
Saturday night the 19th is the biggest open wheel event of the year, the Harvest Classic featuring the ground pounding 900 horse powered Super Modifieds, USAC Sprint Cars, USAC/BCRA Midgets and the Legends of the Pacific!
