New Safety Vehicle Built During Off Season

CHICO, CA (2-8-15) - Silver Dollar Speedway is pleased to announce the latest addition to the racetrack with the safety of our competitors in mind. Over the winter the staff has built a Modern Fire Truck carrying a Rapid Response Foam Tote unit producing 600 gallons of protective foam specifically designed to aid in the quick containment of methanol and hydrocarbon fires seen at the racetrack. The total self contained unit delivers a protective blanket of foam in seconds to extinguish the fire. The unit is nitrogen charged so no power is required and with one lever operation the Rapid Response Foam is immediately ready for use. The 600 gallon tank is mounted on a late model all wheel drive vehicle for quick response to any fire on the track. "Safety of our drivers has always been our number one concern," said track promoter Dennis Gage. "Fire is one of the biggest concerns when you talk to the drivers and we felt it was important to upgrade our existing method of fire response."

The 2015 Silver Dollar Speedway schedule is now available at our website www.silverdollarspeedeway.com.

The first practice will be held on February 20. All divisions are welcomed to participate. Grandstand will be open for fans. The practice is scheduled to start at 6 P.M. And close at 10 P.M.

The first race of the season will take place on March 6 and 7 with the annual running of the Silver Cup.

The World of Outlaws return for one night only on March 28th.
