The Super Chevy Show’s return to the Pacific Northwest will come sooner than expected.
The national touring series’ event at Spokane County Raceway in Airway Heights, Wash., originally scheduled for Aug. 26-28, will now take place on July 29-31.
The switch in dates is expected to benefit the car show, drag race, and autocross participants, as well as fans who will be able to experience all the pluses of the series making a stop in the Pacific Northwest. The switch will not affect the date for Super Chevy Show’s return to Canada with the event at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. That event will keep its date for Labor Day weekend on Sept. 2-4, as part of Super Chevy Show’s 12-event 2011 schedule, which begins in April at Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Fla.
Spokane County Raceway is an up-and-coming track that hosted its first NHRA divisional event this past July. It recently underwent a huge makeover when Charlie Allen, who operates Firebird International Raceway near Phoenix, and Ron Hodgson, who is co-owner of Castrol Raceway, took over operation of the facility this past spring, at which time Cindy Gibbs-Arias, daughter of NHRA’s Steve Gibbs, was brought in as manager. Several changes have been made to the track, including safety improvements on the venue’s three racing courses – a dragstrip, oval and road course.
The Super Chevy Show event is expected to be one of the top attractions on the track’s 2011 schedule. It will be the series’ first trip to the Northwest in nearly 10 years.
