Copper on Dirt, Manzanita Speedway, Feb. 9-10, 2007 2007 February 19
On Feburary 9 and 10 I went to Manzanita Speedway to watch the Copper on Dirt. This was the first ever edition of the race which feature the USAC Natonal Midgets, USAC Silver Crown, and USAC/CRA Sprints. I found the event to be a huge success and I am sure they will have the event again. Sure, their was some bugs in the program, but overall I greatly enjoyed the racing. The track was kind of shot by the end of the races on Saturday night. They also could have ran the show off a little quicker, but I think with a few tweaks this could be one of the top 10 dirt track events in the USA in the years to come. It was also nice to Ricky Stenhouse Jr. win two of the events. I don’t think anyway (besides maybe Ricky’s family would have caused that one!
My stats for 2007 after two nights in Manzanita:
Races: 6
Tracks: 2 (0 new) (150 lifetime)
States: 2 (0 new) (35 lifetime)
