Christmas is the air and “KWS Tonight” will be back this week with a special holiday show on http://www.kwssprints.com at 7pm pst Thursday. As always it will replay immediately after the first showing and will be available on the homepage 24/7 for your viewing pleasure.
On this week’s show we will debut the tentative Golden State King of the West Sprint Car Series schedule. Everyone will get a first glimpse of the dates for the coming season, as we break down the various weekends that should be must sees for dirt track fans in California.
The midway point in our 2011 walk back down memory lane will also be reached this week with highlights from June at the Silver Dollar Speedway and Southern Oregon Speedway being showcased.
The event in Chico happened to be the annual “Tribute to Gary Patterson/ Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial” and fan favorite Peter Murphy was the winner. The following day we then made the trek up I-5 to Medford, OR where Jonathan Allard made a late race charge to get by Tim Kaeding and score one of his four victories on the year.
Speaking of Peter Murphy we’ll have the Australian native on the line for a call-in interview discussing the huge triumph he had with KWS at the “Tribute to GP/Bradway Memorial.” That night saw four different leaders in the 40-lapper and happened to be one of the most exciting races of the season.
Murphy will also give everyone an update on his plans for next year, which could be very exciting for fans throughout the state.
Also on the show this week we will talk about the fast approaching Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, OK and feature a short segment on health and nutrition for the holiday season, with Rio Vista Gym trainer Pocket.
The “KWS Tonight” staff would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and very happy and prosperous New Year. We hope you all have a fun and safe remainder of the holidays and we will see you in 2012.
