Weather postpones Opening Day at TCS
by Bob Burbach

Marysville, CA - March 22, 2006...The smell of burning alcohol and the sound of roaring engines will have to wait another week at Twin Cities Speedway in Marysville. Inclement weather, its damage and the forecast of more has prompted cancellation of the events scheduled for this Saturday. The playday rescheduled for Tuesday the 28th has also been put on hold until the weather system’s influence can be assessed.
 
Promoters Greg and Linda Kearns will now host Opening Day on Saturday April 1st. The four primary divisions will kick 2006 into high gear. The Winged Pacific Sprint Cars, the Hunt Magneto Wingless Warriors Sprint Car Series, the Riebes Racing Series Stock Cars and the TCS Mini Stocks will headline a 4-division show.
 
Regarding the loss of the point races scheduled for this Saturday, Kearns said that there are several available make-up dates for point races. It’s likely that the Riebes Racing Series Stock Car race will be made up by having the final point race run in conjunction with the Dwarf Car Nationals on Friday night September 29th. The TCS Mini Stock final point race would be run the next night September 30th in conjunction with the Dwarf Car National final event. This is not new as the 2003 Mini Stock championship was decided with a similar make up date. Drivers that I’ve talked to in all three divisions affected by this week’s cancellations were hopeful that the dates would be made up.
 
One championship hopeful quipped, “That’s why we do this thing. It’s all about the points. The point races need to be made up…we need every opportunity to race.”
 
Promoter Greg Kearns agrees. Earlier in the week Kearns was already discussing how and when the washed out dates would be rescheduled. There are a number of opportunities in September. In addition to the scenario discussed above, the final Hunt Magneto Wingless Sprint Car Series race could be scheduled during the unique “Double Nationals” event or on October 7th when the BCRA Midgets will be in town as a support series to the Hunt Wingless Warriors.
 
As the anticipated season comes closer, the excitement level has never been higher. New and better purse structures for the Riebes Racing Series Stock Cars and the TCS MiniStocks have record numbers of participants waiting in the wings.
 
On April 1st the grandstand gates open at 5PM with racing getting the green flag at 7PM. Qualifying for the Pacific Sprint Cars will kick off at 6.30.
