LAKEPORT, California -- The 19TH annual Kelseyville Lumber Deake Lyndall Memorial auto race is scheduled for this Saturday night, July 7, at the Lakeport Speedway. Six divisions of race cars will be competing including the Bay Cities Racing Association midgets, the King of the Hill Challenge Series modifieds and mini stocks, the Guy Strohmeier Auto Center bombers and bonus bombers, and the Airport Auto Brokers Late Models.

The special event is a tribute to the father-son team who lost their lives in an airplane crash on their way back from a racing event in May of 1989. Past Lyndall Memorial winners will participate in a parade laps prior to the racing activities. Race fans are encouraged to wear purple, the team color of the Lyndalls.

A special treat for race fans will be the running of the purple #3 super modified and stock car which were driven by the Lyndall’s at Lakeport Speedway years ago.

The purses for all six divisions have been increased courtesy of Patti Lyndall of Kelseyville, wife and mother of the late Deake Lyndall Senior and Junior. The Lyndall grandsons, David, Deake Jacob and Brandon, will present trophies to the divisional feature winners.
