But the biggest event Saturday is at Placerville as the Sprint Car Challenge series gets going with a huge field of 360 winged sprint cars that is attracting drivers from as far away as Australia.
Over on TV Land things are pretty slim to say the least. Every one of the major racing series are taking their Easter break and that includes Supercross, NASCAR, Formula 1, NHRA and Indy Cars.
