FIRST RESPONDERS FREE SATURDAY AT PERRIS NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION! By Scott Daloisio (Perris, CA, July 23, 2019) This Saturday night, July 27th, when LKQ Pick Your Part Presents Night of Destruction #5 at Perris Auto Speedway, it will be “First Responders Night.” All police, sheriff, CHP, firemen and rescue workers will be admitted free and will get a free ticket for a guest. Saturday’s show will include Figure 8 Racing, a Figure 8 Trailer race, Mini Stocks, crazy Democross and the new and totally insane Double Deckers. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 P.M. and the crashing will start at 7:00. (attached photos fo the Double Deckers courtesy of Doug Allen) “We want to show all of the first responders how much we appreciate what they do for all of us,” longtime promoter Don Kazarian said on Saturday. “They have a very tough job and it is all in the best interests of the public. Not everybody can do the jobs they do. This is a thank you for them and hopefully, they will come out and have a very fun and entertaining night at The PAS.” When they get to the ticket window on Saturday and show their valid id, first responders will get their free ticket (s). In addition, they will be able to purchase additional tickets for $5.00 each if needed. Returning on Saturday will be the popular Double Decker class. They are exactly as they sound. One car stacked on top of another. The driver of the car on the bottom controls the gas pedal and the brakes and the one on top controls the steering wheel. And, to make matters more complicated, communication devices are not allowed between the two drivers. The Double Deckers started the season with two cars and the crowd went wild. On July 4th, with one of the largest crowds in the 24-season history of The PAS, they showed up with four entries and the crowd exploded with excitement. Especially when two of them flipped. “We figured the Double Deckers would be popular,” Kazarian laughed. “They are a sight to be seen and probably the oddest vehicles you will ever see in racing. When they roll through the pit gate and onto the track, the crowd roars with cheers and laughs. The drivers in them are brave to say the least. At the July 4th race, a husband and wife team won the main event. Needless to say, the crowd loved that.” You can check out video of one of the Double Decker races at the following link.
