| URGENT NEWS!!!! Goodguys 47th
March Meet postponed One Week!
Bakersfield, CA
3/9/06 - The Goodguys 47th March Meet presented
by Clay Smith Cams, originally scheduled for this weekend, has been postponed
one week and will be run the weekend of March 17, 18 & 19 at Auto Club
Famoso Raceway just north of Bakersfield. The bleak weather forecast which is
predicting a 70% chance of rain showers for Friday and Saturday coupled with
record low temperatures and snow levels down to 1500 feet, caused Goodguys
officials to postpone the event. This marks the first time under Goodguys sanction the
March Meet has been postponed. “It wasn’t an easy decision,” said Goodguys
Senior Vice President Marc Meadors. “The forecast kept getting worse and worse
with a 70% chance of rain Friday and Saturday. We could most likely handle a few
passing rain showers but the cold temperatures are going to be the main problem.
After meeting with the racetrack, we all agreed the impending forecast of rain
and cold temperatures would cause unsafe racing conditions. We will not take a
chance when it comes to drivers safety.” Every facet of the event has been postponed one week
including the annual Goodguys/VRA Banquet which was to be held tonight to honor
last year’s Goodguys VRA Champions. The banquet will now be held next Thursday
night, March 16th at the Doubletree Hotel in Racers and event participants who pre-entered the event
should hold on to their confirmation letters and passes. All passes will be
honored for the re-running of the event. To reach the Goodguys offices, you can call (925)
838-9876. To reach Auto Club Famoso Raceway, please call (661)
