The hottest driver at Perris Auto Speedway, Torrance, California’s Mike Kirby, will try to run his victory streak to five straight races on 1950’s Night this Saturday, May 19th. Kirby will be racing in the Art’s Concrete Extreme Late Models. The Late Models will be joined by the MC Builders Super Stocks, PASSCAR Modifieds and the Pick-A-Part Cruisers. Fans who were born in the 1950s can show a valid driver’s license or id at the ticket window and receive $5.00 admission this Saturday. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM with racing at 6:30.
The 41 year-old Kirby began the 2007 campaign in the brand new PASSCAR Modified class. After being spun out from behind and finishing 13th in the Modified season opener, Kirby easily won the next three Modified main events. However, after the third victory, Kirby unexpectedly sold his Modified and bought a Late Model. With a chassis formerly driven by national Late Model star Donnie Moran and a powerful engine formerly maintained by the legendary Gardner family of Sprint Car racing fame, Kirby won in his first outing in the car two weeks ago.
