From a press release issued by Clear Channel Entertainment Motor Sports:

Fort Worth, Texas–Are you ready for Mile Dirt Track Motorcycle Racing? The Legendary Sacramento Mile returns to Cal Expo in Sacramento, California Saturday, September 13th in round seven of the K&N Filters Pro Series.

The 2003 K&N Filters Pro Series sanctioned by Formula USA has held six events to date with six different winners. Winners include Bryan Smith, Davey Durelle, Terry Poovey, Rob Pearson, Kenny Coolbeth and Joe Kopp. All out battles between riders and brands will ensue when the K&N Filters Pro Series takes to the ultra-fast mile dirt track at Cal Expo.

Current Formula USA Dirt Track Champion Terry Poovey is no stranger to Cal Expo who has competed on the fast mile dirt track since 1977. Last year Poovey came into Cal Expo tied with JR Schnabel in points with factory Harley-Davidson rider Rich King only 2-points behind. Poovey took his first ever Sacramento Mile win last year going on to win his second straight Formula USA Dirt Track Championship.

This year Bryan Smith holds the K&N Filters Pro Series point lead over Davey Durelle and Terry Poovey in the Pro Single class. Smith and Poovey are teammates on the 1stracing/Team Honda with the only strategy from Team Owner, Roy Plattel, “may the best man win!”

Two feature events will take place Saturday night. The Pro Single National Championship and the Memphis Shades Twin Challenge. The Memphis Shades Twin Challenge will have riders reaching speeds over 130 miles per hour on 750cc Harley-Davidson racing machines and Suzuki TL 1000’s. This class has traditionally had fans on their feet throughout the entire main event with the win decided by inches at the finish line.

Tickets are still available through cc.com for the Sacramento Mile, Round 7 of The K&N Filters Pro Series Presented by Drag Specialties brought to you by Budweiser. Qualifying begins at 4:00 PM, autograph session starts at 6:00 PM and racing (both Pro-Singles and 1st Legal Super Singles) start at 7:00 PM on Saturday, September, 14, 2002 at the Cal Expo Center’s Sacramento Mile.
