Eureka, CA (April 29, 2018) – Rain delayed what was supposed to be the season-opening race on April 28th at Redwood Acres Raceway. Thankfully, it will be a quick turnaround for racers and fans as RAR officials were able to swiftly maneuver the first race of the year to this Saturday May 5th. As was originally scheduled, Root 101 Nursery is the title sponsor for the event.
As per usual, all six of the Acres’ divisions will be in action. Of particular note are the bandoleros which will be making their debut on the 3/8-mile paved oval. The Super 6 Late Model Series will also have its first race of the season. Teams in all of the divisions will have a quick turnaround with Pepsi Night at the Races on the docket for May 12th.
Please note that the races at Redwood Acres Raceway start earlier than in the past. Front gates open at 5:00PM while racing will begin at 5:30PM.
