Placerville, CA – April 8, 2008…Midget racer Travis Berryhill is getting geared up for this Saturday's Bay Cities Racing Association event at the Placerville Speedway, which is being billed as “Totally Wingless Saturday.” With the weather expected to warm up this weekend Berryhill is hoping to put his mount up front at the John Padjen Motorsports track known for its distinctive red clay.

The American Canyon, CA driver is set for what looks to be an exciting season of racing competition as he will be moving back to Indy to try and further his racing career. Berryhill will be running various events around the Indiana area including the full Indiana Midget Week sanctioned by the United States Auto Club. 

In addition to that however, he is still planning to try and compete in as many dirt events in California as possible, which includes this Saturday’s event at the high-banked Placerville Speedway. The red clay quarter-mile lends itself well for exciting midget racing and it should be an action packed evening of competition that will also feature the midget lites and wingless spec sprints on the same card. Gates open up at 5pm Saturday with qualifying scheduled for around 6:30. The track is located at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville. 

Later on in the season Berryhill is also planning to run the huge event that is tentatively scheduled for Labor Day weekend at the Calistoga Speedway, located at the Napa County Fairgrounds. The word has been said that a meeting is scheduled for this week to determine if the event will happen and most are hoping and praying that it will. If the show happens Berryhill plans to borrow a good bullet to help him get down the long straight-aways at the half-mile speed-plant. 

Berryhill would like to thank Vallejo Coin Exchange, Red Line Oil, Impact Racing Products and all of his sponsors for their continued support. He would also like to give special thanks to Bob Rosen & Glen Voyles.
