North American JAWA Distributor Cody Racing has again stepped up with sponsorship for the upcoming Spring Classic Longtrack race being held at "The PAS." in Perris California on April 17th.

Known as "Wild Bill Cody" in the way back days of Speedway for years he thrilled the Friday night crowds at the famous Costa Mesa "Bullring". In 1970 "Wild Bill" was the first ever rider to win the Fair Derby race. Competition for the Derby back then was fearsome with riders like Rick Woods (1971) and Sunny Nutter (1972) fighting for the prestigious title. In 2009 it was Fast Eddie Castro taking the win. Mike Faria has won the title eight times.

Bill Cody is currently serving his second consecutive term on the USA Speedway Board. Very popular Bill was reelected with more votes than any other Industry candidate on the ballot. He is a huge asset and supporter of the organization.

An avid Speedway motorcycle collector Bill's collection is not only huge but also correct. He knows model and serial numbers to a fault and has little patience for vintage machines that are not restored properly or misrepresented.

Cody Racing in Garden Grove Ca. is a regular fixture to most riders. A full service Speedway Motorcycle shop they repair, rebuild and sell. Look them up at http://www.speedwaybikes.com/cody/cody06.htm. A large assortment of used bikes are always available. From the rookie to the pro Cody can help you.

Thank you Bill and Fran Cody for all your support. You were there for our first California State Longtrack Championship. Our first Longtrack Fair Classic and now our first ever Longtrack Spring Classic.

Oval Entertainment is proud to announce that Bruce Penhall and Bruce Svatos are sponsoring the Speedway Longtrack Spring Classic Main event on April 14 at The PAS.

The two time World Champion attended last years California State Longtrack Championships and was impressed with how some of the youngsters rode the big track. There should be more of these races BP told me, this exactly the kind of experience riders need if they want to go overseas.

We want to stay involved said Bruce Svatos. BP and I really enjoyed giving Gino Manzares a hand last year and may do that again for another up and coming rider. Their the ones we can help the most and their the ones that need it it most. No decision has yet been made but we are getting input and will be watching how the riders handle themselves.

Penhall/Svatos Motorsports is a great partnership that has been very active in Speedway sponsorship the last few years. We thank them for their support. This is a very good thing for Speedway.

Avi Speedway race live on Justin TV

Posted by: "speedwayzar" razamataz91107@yahoo.com
Date: Thu Feb 4, 2010 11:29 pm ((PST))

Promoter Nate Perkins will air the February 14th Speedway Motorcycle race at the AVI Casino in Arizona live on Justin TV.

It was a tough decision Perkins told me. The racing is great and I really wanted to share it with the world but I was a little concerned about fans staying home and watching the live webcast rather then attending in person. Then there was the added expense issue. In the end I decided a live webcast was what was best for my riders the sport and of course our sponsors. It's the future and that's where we need to be.

Producer Mark Williams a leader in Speedway webcasts and his company XSA plan to provide a full three camera video production with rider interviews, helmet cameras, and slow motion replays of all the action for the webcast.

I'm really excited about it Williams said. The live webcast is big news and could be the standard at all the tracks this year. And Justin TV, wow! They are the leader in Internet sports streaming and have a huge following. This is going to allow American Speedway to be seen by a worldwide audience.

Steve Evans will be the live webcast commentator. He's very talented and his passion for Speedway and knowledge of the riders who compete in it will give the viewers a wonderful insight into this extreme sport where crashes are common and rubbing is racing. You can expect that Evan's will have several special Interviews and surprise quests during the four-hour live webcast.

Another Speedway specialist joining the production team will be Howie Zechner owner of RAZ Video in Pasadena California. Zechner will be providing the on-track interviews and close ups of all the racing action. His special relationship with this sport and the people who run it always makes `good television". I've been working with Mark Williams and XSA for several years now and am proud to expand that relationship in 2010 Zechner stated. We see Speedway in a very similar manner and believe with our combined talents maybe this sport will finally get the kind of exposure it deserves.

The stars of this production are the flamboyant Speedway jockeys who race these lightweight methanol fuel powered 500cc motorcycles with no brakes around a small dirt oval and promoter Nate Perkins has brought in the best. Anyone who hasn't seen them perform hasn't seen racing. It is without a doubt a very wild event.

The Live Webcast starts at 6pm and will feature pre-race interviews followed by rider introductions and then a full program of races. At the events conclusion there will be an added show of Freestyle Riders doing stunts that have to be seen to be believed.

With over twenty-five years of providing racing programming for broadcast, DVD sales and the live webcasting market RAZ Video and Xtreme Speedway Action are proud to bring the action into your living room. The Live Webcast will start at 6pm Pacific Standard Time on Justin TV. If you can't be there be here.

Dream Team Fund-Racer - Sign Ups Open

Date: Saturday 6 March, 1pm

Location: IMS

Details: A regular Speedway meeting but run like a benefit meeting in the UK - once basics are covered (rent, EMTs, insurance, etc) all profits go to the Dream Team Tour Fund. We are counting on monstrous rider, fan and sponsor support! Much like UK benefit races, no purse is on offer with riders racing to support the cause - and we would hope that some of the big names join in!

Spectator Info: Tickets are $10 to spectators.

Heat Sponsor Info: Heats can be sponsored for $50 each. Semis's at $100, D1 Main at $200. Event Sponsorship available upon request.

Auction: Plans are to hold an auction after the last race race. If you have something you would like to donate, big or small, please contact us.

It's just three weeks away. Please help spread the word.

The Dream Team Fund-Racer

Saturday March 6, 2010 at IMS a 1pm start will be a very special Speedway race! Gary and I know that there is enormous support and pride for the Dream Team and we really felt acknowledged for the job done last fall. Well, believe it or not, the first race of the 2010 tour is just 9 weeks away, and the team flies in just over 8.

Many people helped us pull off the job last year and the fundraising in particular really set things up so the riders could just concentrate on being riders. We also know that in today's economy, for every person who did help in this way, there were about four who wanted to but couldn't.

So, we are throwing the doors open to a giant race party on March 6, 2010 - The Dream Team Fund-Racer!

This will be a regular speedway race with a difference - all profits will 100% go towards the Dream Team tour fund for the 2010 trip. All divisions will be encouraged to race, spectators can come watch. There will be an auction and Bar B Q after the final race of the day. Much like a testimonial or benefit meeting in England the riders will not be there for the purse but will be there to support the event - what is saved on purse goes back into the fund.

It is also hoped to have the full 2010 Dream Team in attendance.

Heat sponsorships will be sold, as well as overall event sponsorships and Main Events.

If you want to ride, let me know, Sponsor a heat let me know. Have an item for the auction, ditto.

It should be quite afternoon and is a way for the entire Speedway Community to unite and throw their weight behind the tour! It will also be the first race of the year on the newly relaid IMS circuit.

Put it in your diary, spread the word! This is the 5th anniversary tour and with our historic race on April 7th Vs Dudley Heathens, will be the best yet!

Steve & Gary

COLORADO RIVER CLASSIC SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 13

There should be a billboard on hwy 95 out in Bullhead City with race information.

Victorville / Ridgecrest Schedule Update

Posted by: "Steve Evans" dreamteamspeedway@sbcglobal.net
Date: Sat Jan 9, 2010

The final schedules for Victorville and Ridgecrest are being worked on as we speak and should be ready within a week. As it looks, Victorville will run around 9 dates (all night races), Ridgecrest about 4 with possibly 2 other none Speedway events.

I can give the first two Victorville dates, as these will be prior to Costa Mesa opening - this will be Saturday 20th March and Saturday 3rd April.

This year will be a special year for Victorville as 2010 marks the 25th Anniversary of speedway in the High Desert. There will be a special 25th Anniversary meeting in the Summer portion of the season that will commemorate this.

It is also planned to make the show more fan friendly by having the Support Class Heats (inc Speedway Sprint cars) run their heats at 6pm, with the actual Main show starting at 7. More on this later.

You can more than likely expect a High Desert double-header over 3rd and 4th July (Saturday and Sunday) with possibly a similar event over Labor day weekend if IMS is dark.

The Ridgecrest opener will be Saturday May 8th, though I fully expect Costa Mesa will run that night so it will most likely be a non speedway event or at best have Sidecars as the headliner.

COLORADO RIVER CLASSIC SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 13

Great News - Nate Perkins is proud to announce that Speedway is back at the Avi Events Center, Laughlin, NV, President's Day Weekend Saturday 13th February! The title of the event is the 'Colorado River Classic' and it should be the best event ever at the venue. All Divisions are being invited and incredibly so over 30 riders have signed up prior to the event even being announced.

PAS Longtrack Spring Classic

Posted by: "speedwayzar"
Date: Tues Jan 5, 2010 11:34 pm

The Speedway Longtrack Spring Classic will be run on April 17, 2010 at Perris Auto Speedway in Perris California.

The Speedway Longtrack California State Championship will return on July 10, 2010.

The Longtrack Fair Classic will round out the 440 meter 2010 series at the PAS. The October date has not yet been announced because we must wait for confirmation from the Fair board.

All Speedway divisions along with Sidecars are welcome. Signup's are now being accepted and may be sent to howie@razvideo.com.

We are looking into running a Longtrack race on the PAS 1/2 mile at the end of the year. If you riders like this idea then let it be known and I'll secure a date, probably sometime in November 2010.

Thank You all for supporting American Longtrack racing.

Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds (home of the Southern California Fair), approximately one hour east of Los Angeles and one hour North of San Diego. To get to the track, take the 215 freeway, exit on the Ramona Expressway and go two miles east to the fairgrounds

Date: Wed Jan 6, 2010

Just wanted to say how jazzed it was to get a email from super mom Suzette Manzares stating that Gino would be back from England in time to participate in the April 17, 2010 Longtrack Spring Classic at the PAS.

It was only last year when at the age of 15 Gino rode his first Longtrack and won the Second Division Main Event at the July 11th California State Championship. This young man is rapidly turning into a Speedway superstar and is a welcome participant.

Steve Evans did confirm that the Dream Team will return in time for the first Longtrack event of the 2010 season. Lets see if the rest can keep up with Gino's youthful energy.

Dream Team New Years Press Release

Posted by: "Steve Evans" dreamteamspeedway@sbcglobal.net
Date: Fri Jan 1, 2010 11:14 am

Gary Gomez and Steve Evans have been working very hard on the 2010 tour, coming up in just 12 weeks. The workload however is about to go into whole new levels as the groundwork gets built on. Here is a summary of what is happening.

1. Team places - deadline for applications is 1st February. The 7 man squad will be announced within 7 days of this deadline. Several rider packs have been sent out and anyone who wants one should email Steve. Note those riders who wish to be considered are very much encouraged to do the Perris race on 31 January, especially is the Perris track is similar in size to Weymouth and Plymouth, two of the regular tour venues. Performance on this day may make the difference between being selected or not.

2. Race dates - 5 to 6 standalone events as well as a 2nd half or two or planned within the 2 week trip. Already confirmed is the mouthwatering clash against Dudley Heathens on 7th April. We can expect races at Plymouth and Weymouth on each Friday, with others to be announced.

3. Video Night - this is scheduled in the IMS Bar and function room on Saturday 30th January at 5pm sharp. We will be showing 4 hours of video action from the 2009 tour - each of the four events that were staged. The video's include color commentary as well as rider interviews. Admission to the video night will be $10, with all proceeds going to the 2010 tour. There will be a raffle with a signed British League race bib and a set of programs from the last tour. The first 25 people in attendance will get a copy of the Dream Team Vs Swindon race card from the last tour.

4. Dream Team Fundraiser Race - Scheduled for Sunday 28th February at IMS or Perris (venue TBC), 2pm start. This will be a full race meeting with all proceeds going toward the tour. Heat sponsorships will be sold and all divisions will feature. We hope for a huge rider turn out as an event like this and the best way some of the sports big names can support the venture would be to ride in this very special event. There will also be a Bar-B-Q and an auction after the event. The full 2010 Dream Team will be on display.

5. Fantasy League. For those fans who follow the Monday lunchtime Elite League races on Justin TV, we would like to present the 'Dream Team Fantasy Speedway League'. This is being done in co-ordination with www.fantasysportsfactory.co.uk. A full fantasy speedway league will be run for 14 players. It includes a full live on line draft where YOU get to chose the riders who will race for your team. It will certainly make watching Sky matches much more fun. The cost is $50 per person and 70% of the proceeds go straight to the Dream Team. It will run from March to October for the full British season.

6. Friends of the Dream Team. Back once more for 2010, this program was the heart of the fundraising help we got last season and so returns. There will be four levels of membership - Platinum ($600), Gold ($250), Silver ($100) and Bronze ($50). As with last year, each level will have its own level of awards to be announced very soon.

We need to at least match the funds raised for the 2009 tour. The message above is clear - EVERYONE can and should help this great initiative and there are ways anyone can contribute. We also have 5 signed race used British League speedway bibs to auction off - some will be done via ebay, some via the fundraising events above. If you have an item to donate for the auction on February 28th, please email Steve of list.

2010 is the 5th Anniversary Tour and we expect it to be better than any before. We cannot do it without the help of the community so thanks in advance for your involvement.

All Classes welcome at the Avi

Date: Wed Dec 30, 2009 10:20 am

Nate wanted me to let everyone know that for the Feb 13th Avi race that all classes are welcome to ride. Previous events have been invite only but it is quite clear here that there is huge demand from all to ride and we don't want to disappoint and turn anyone away. So, just to clarify, here are the classes we are taking sign ups for;

Divisions 1, 2 and 3
Juniors
PW's
Powder Puff
Sidecars

It's a holiday weekend so it's the perfect chance to have a speedway vacation with all the fun of a casino town.

New Years Classic - 31st January Perris

Posted by: "Steve Evans" dreamteamspeedway@sbcglobal.net
Date: Sun Dec 27, 2009

The 4th annual New Years Classic is being held at Perris Raceway 1pm Sunday, 31st January. All divisions are welcome to race - D1, D2, D3, Jnr, PW, Powder Puff, Sidecar. Any rider who is interested in trying out for the 2010 Dream Team should attend this race, as the final team selection will be made most likely within 7 days of this event.

It is not clear at this stage if the event will be strictly for fun like the previous Perris events or if there will be a small purse for the D1 riders.

There will be no speedway sprint cars at this event. We hope, in light of the fact that IMS is closed for practice at this point to have a good rider turn out.

Note in light of keeping Perris going definitely volunteers are needed for sign ups, pits and flaggers. So, if you can't or don't ride, please help in any way you possibly can.

Email or call to sign up. It's just 5 weeks until the 7 week off season is over!
