Greetings and felicitations racers!

This coming Saturday (7/23)marks our last stop at the beach for a while as we don’t return to Ventura Raceway again until October 29th. Charge those transponders, put batteries in the radios and come on out and beat the heat. While you’re there be sure to stop by and pickup your very own 2022 California Lightning Sprints apparel. T-shirts are a bargain at $15 and hoodies are equally priced to sell at $30, come get them while supplies last!

Our next race after this is “The Historical Little One” with the USAC/CRA sprint cars at Santa Maria Raceway on August 6th. We’ve got teams coming from all over to compete, it should be a great turnout. Come out and support a great track with a lot of history. Also there will be an open practice at Santa Maria on Saturday night July 30th from 5-9pm with all pit passes $45.

We’re still taking lap sponsors for the August 6th show, help us fill up the sheet and make this one of our greatest paying races.

********** Hoosier Tire availability ***********
We are working with the USAC West Coast Midget folks on providing a united voice to Hoosier for tire needs and allotment. As you know supply is tight and we're trying to get an appropriate level of stock out here so everyone can be served. The next batch is due in the first part of August and we're hoping to have an equitable amount sent out to the west coast for all of us to use. The USAC folks are only supposed to purchase no more than 2 RR tires per allotment shipped to Hoosier West. If we can all adhere to this level of self control we should all have enough tires to get us through the rest of the year. I'm not sure when the various allotments are being shipped, I don't believe it's as frequent as monthly but we're providing the Hoosier folks with our requirements through August and will continue to remain in contact as a united front from the west coast.
