by Ken Wagner

October 19, 2005...The 15th annual Wagsdash will be held at Ventura Raceway on October 29th. The event has grown from an original purse of $5000 in 1991 to a high of $23,000 in 2001. The race is for "the little guys" of sprint car racing averages about $18,000 every year and pays $2500 to win, the same as a normal weekly USAC/CRA race pays. The purse is raised from fans in various ways. The money comes from direst donations from fans, some fans  sponsor the annual calendar or event T-shirt, a racing
silent auction, a racing quilt and other fund raisers. All the money raised goes to the racers, and there is no fee taken from the money.

The special event this year will feature 16 cars and will be run on a regular race night with the USAC/CRA. There will be special monetary awards paid out to the sexiest driver, the pit stop team winner, the best appearing crew, the car with the shiniest tires, the driver who
passes the most cars and more during the night. The annual Mrs Wags Chili Feed starts at noon on race day and is free to fans and racers alike. It is a carnival like atmosphere putting together fans with their heroes in the afternoon before the racing begins.

The special attraction this year is the appearance of one of auto racings most revered race car drivers and also car owner, Parnelli Jones, the event's Grand Marshal, who will preside over the night and sign autographs in the afternoon. A special poster of Parnelli's famed
race cars will be free for fans to have autographed by Parnelli.
