The Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100 marks the first ever appearance by the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series to the popular Northern California quarter-mile. The much-anticipated double header will utilize a modified Trophy Cup style format, featuring larger than normal inverts. Saturday night’s A-main will be 100-laps around the famed red clay oval with the winner picking up a $20,000 payday. All the biggest names in USAC National Midget racing will be in action, as well as some special guest appearances by some of racing’s biggest stars.
“We are very excited to have reserved seats go on sale this early for the Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100,” commented Elk Grove Ford President Matt Wood. “The Placerville Speedway is the perfect venue for a big USAC Midget event like this and we know fans are going to have a great time. After opening night we’re going to have a post-race get together with a live band and food. We are looking forward to making the Hangtown 100 one of racing’s marquee, must attend events.
