You might be a redneck….
The members of the Wine Country Racing Association (WCRA) are gearing up for the 2011 racing season in the South Okanagan, with a season opening race on May 15, 2011.
The planning is complete and the organizing has been done. The rest is up to the racers and the fans.
Teams have been buzzing in their shops for weeks making changes to engines, building new suspensions, fine-tuning and tweaking any new additions to the cars. But, all the racers know this work is for naught without the fans.
The October 3, 2010 “Rumble in the Valley” race boasted over 100 drivers and 300 fans. People of all ages, walks of life and both genders filled the bleachers, lined the fences and packed the area lovingly known as "Redneck Row".
Many favorites from past years as well as new racers will make a showing in the season opener. Whether you're the type of fan to bring your lawn chair, fill the stands or be considered among the few and proud in Redneck Row come early to reserve your best seat. Concessions are on sight for the whole family to enjoy.
Richter Pass Motorplex is housed at the Osoyoos Airport. Gates open on Sunday, May 15 at 9 a.m. Qualifying races begin around 11 a.m. with the main event around 1 p.m. Racers: remember to come early for registration and tech inspection. Admission is $10 per person (12 and under admitted free). For more information you can go online: www.winecountryracing.ca or call 250-495-3262.
