Banks, Oregon- This Saturday April 13th hopes to mark the first time that cars will be run at Sunset Speedway Park in 2013. The day will be a Test and Tune play date allowing for cars to knock off the cobwebs and get some laps under their belts before racing begins. General Admission is free to all spectators wishing to sit in the grandstands and watch practice which is expected to last from 2:00 PM until Dusk weather permitting.
“There are a lot of new drivers that have moved around to different classes this year,” commented longtime track announcer Charlie Weaver, “so for these guys they are really anticipating this practice date. They definitely would rather work the bugs out at play day versus the first race of the season.”

Classes that will be action on that night will consist of the NW Extreme Winged Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, and 4-Bee’s.
