With Mother Nature washing out the scheduled season opener for the Wingless Sprint Car Series presented by Joey Hunt Magnetos, the series will officially kick the 2016 season off Sunday night at the Calistoga Speedway as they share the track with the famed World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.
Embarking on it’s second season under the leadership of the Prentice Motorsports Group, the Wingless Series presented by Joe Hunt Magnetos will again tour over the great state of California racing along side either the King of the West Series or the Civil Series in nearly every event, with the season opener being a special event alongside ‘The Greatest Show On Dirt”.
In 2015 the series made two appearances at the famed ½ mile located in the beautiful Napa Valley, and both showings were exceptional with Colton Slack and Terry Schank each picking up historic wins.
2016 will mark the series’ seventh season in the Golden State and they can be seen in action from March through November at four of California’s marquee venues.
On the heels of a very competitive 2015 season that saw Gary Nelson, Jr score his first series championship, and the series have five different feature event winners, the 2016 season is shaping up to be another exciting one on the non-wing landscape.
Sunday night, things will get started an hour earlier with the front gates opening at 3pm cars hitting the speedway by 430pm for hot laps. Limited reserved seats are still available for $50 while adult general admission will be $45. General Admission tickets for children 12 and under will be available for just $10.
