- Tribute to Al Hinds christens new Placerville season on Saturday
Placerville, CA…Placerville Speedway is prepared to open its 61st season of competition this Saturday by honoring a man that had a key role in making it all possible, with the 23rd annual "Tribute to Al Hinds" tackling the red clay. Divisions set to christen the Berco Building Materials/ Hoosier Tires championship season on March 21st will include the Thompson's Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks, Ltd. Late Models and the Bay Cities Racing Association Lightning Sprints. The Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars will offer $2,500-to-win/ $250-to-start the feature on Saturday. Live music and Coors Light/ Coors Banquet Happy Hour takes place from 4-6pm, while magician/ juggler Cody Ebert will be on hand to entertain the masses from 4:30-6pm. The Tribute to Al Hinds began in 2004 following the passing of early track promoter and mentor, Al Hinds, a longtime Placerville resident and true race fan that touched the lives of many. Hinds was the second promoter of Placerville Speedway. He took operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani, in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field. The operator of a local machine shop by trade, Hinds loved the community where he lived. In his final years of life, he enjoyed sitting with some of his best friends every night in the grandstands at Placerville Speedway and loved watching young talent make a name for themselves in the sport. The inaugural Tribute to Al Hinds was captured by Roger Crockett, while last season saw Andy Forsberg snag his fourth triumph in the event. Track champions last season with the Thompson's Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Pure Stocks and Ltd. Late Models included Modesto's Tony Gomes, Oakley's Nick Baldwin and Yuba City's Rod Oliver respectively. Livermore's Greg Dennett claimed the BCRA Lightning Sprint title with six victories last season. The division will be on hand several times once again this year. Tickets and Details: Grandstand seating during the Tribute to Al Hinds will be General Admission on Saturday March 21st, except for the reserved seats allocated to season ticket holders that are marked. Adult tickets cost just $18, while seniors 62+, military and juniors 12-17 will be $16. Kids 6-11 cost $8 and those five and under are free.
