It was a great planned event – the Third Annual Fred Rannard, Sr. Midget Classic at Agassiz Speedway on Saturday, September 8, 2018. Northwest Focus Midget Series, West Coast Vintage Racers, American Canadian Dwarf Series, as well as the local Mini Stocks and Hornets. WCVR donated a couple of t-shirts and hats for the fan appreciation give away. The track presented each car with a special track decal commemorating the event.
Friday morning the sun was shining as 21 WCVR cars unloaded. By afternoon, rain, but we did get in a few hours of practice. Saturday morning, brought more rain. By afternoon, the sky had cleared for more practice laps. With rain threatening, the racing was shortened…. No dashes, no fan fest…started with the WCVR B heat, won by #4 Bob Gage, WCVR A heat won by #14 Daryl Redlin. A few more heats by the other classes and the skies opened up. After an hour of trying to dry the track, only to have more rain fall, the evening of racing was cancelled.
