(FEBRUARY 26, 2010, PERRIS, CA) Due to the incoming heavy storm that is slated to hit Southern California late Friday and into Saturday, Perris Auto Speedway, promoter Don Kazarian announced that the Sokola Shootout, featuring the Amsoil USAC National & CRA Sprint Cars and the USAC National & Western Midgets, has been postponed until Sunday, February 28th. Spectator gates will open at 1:00 PM. Qualifying will start at 3:00 PM with the first race at 5:45.
Due to the amount of rain expected and the mud it will make in the pits, the pit area will be located outside of turn one on the pavement (same place they were a few years back when heavy rains hit the night before the Oval Nationals). The pit gate entrance will be gate B, off Lake Perris Drive. The pit booth will be by the main large brown arches (the main entrance to the Southern California Fair).
Advance tickets are available 24 hours a day by calling 1-800-595-4849. They can also be ordered on the Internet at tix.com or perrisautospeedway.com.
