PERRIS
AUTO SPEEDWAY IS BRINGING BACK TRAILER
FIGURE 8 RACES By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, September 4, 2023)
When LKQ Pick Your Part presents the next
Night of Destruction at Perris Auto
Speedway on September 16th, fans will see
the return of the Figure 8 Trailer races
for the first time in 2023. In addition to
the 16th, they will also be part of the
program during the Southern California
Fair on October 14th and at the last night
of Destruction of the year on October
21st.

Auto Speedway on September 16. Kenny

The Figure 8
Trailer races had been a part of Night of
Destruction for years. Good-sized fields
of entries with drivers bringing their own
trailers with their own accouterments on
top of them. Drivers pulled outhouses,
couches, Christmas trees, boats, and more
on their trailers. At one event several
years ago, one driver brought a trailer
with a catamaran on it. The crowd loved
the wild creations and they ate it up when
one of the contraptions got knocked off a
trailer and destroyed.
However, as
time progressed, entries shrank. The last
two Trailer Figure 8 races in 2022, only
drew six cars each. Like the size of the
field, the size of the trailers grew
smaller as well. Additionally, the wild
variety of the items disappeared. Some of
the small trailers contained small pedal
car-sized toy vehicles and some were bare.
The trailer race had lost its luster and
was left off the schedule for 2023.
Several drivers urged the track to
bring them back. At first promoter Don
Kazarian was hesitant but with further
prodding from them, he decided to put them
back on the program.
“We are
bringing back the figure 8 trailer races
starting with the September 16th Night of
Destruction,” he recently said. “We
explained to the drivers why we canceled
them and I think they understood why. They
will be supplying their trailers and will
hopefully have them decked out with crazy
stuff like the old days. I hope we get
good car counts as well. Hopefully, that
happens and they can be a part of the
regular program again beginning in 2024.”
In addition to the trailer Figure
8 races, regular Figure 8s, Mini Stock
Figure 8s, Demo Cross, Mini Stock Road
Races and Double Deckers will also be on
the card for the crowd-pleasing September
16th show. Spectator gates will open at
5:00 p.m. with racing at 7:00. There will
be a meet and greet with all of the
drivers and cars on the track with the
drivers passing out candy to all the kids
from 5:15 to 5:45.
The October
14th show at the fair will also include
traditional Figure 8s. The other fair
shows will be PASSCAR Street Stocks and
Factory Stocks on October 12th, PASSCAR
Super Stocks on the 13th, and Demo Cross
and Double Deckers on October 15th. All
four shows will begin at 7:00 p.m. and
admission will be free with a ticket to
the fair.
