SAN BERNARDINO, California — Outlaw Figure 8 racing star Rod Proctor, one of the organizers of the $25,000 International Outlaw Figure 8 West Coast Championships at Orange Show Speedway Oct. 24, will make a personal appearance at the Smart & Final store at 4039 Tyler Avenue in Riverside from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17.
Proctor, a Riverside resident, will have his Smart & Final Outlaw Figure 8 car on display and will answer any questions about the sport and the event at Orange Show Speedway that is attracting entries from around the country. He’ll also be signing autographs, handing out T-shirts and distributing discount coupons that can be redeemed at The Little Green Onion, the restaurant Proctor owns on Brockton Avenue in Riverside.
The International Outlaw Figure 8 Championships will be a 200-lap race – run in 100-lap segments separated by an intermission – that will pay $7,500 to the winner. In addition to the top Outlaw Figure 8 racers in Southern California, there are commitments from a half-dozen Midwest stars and at least that many from Washington, and Proctor calls it potentially the best Figure 8 race ever in Southern California.
