The 2025 season at Redwood Acres Raceway is beyond its halfway point as racing returns to the 3/8-mile paved oval this Saturday July 26. Harper Motors will be presenting a packed night of racing which features the Mid-City Motor World Late Models, the Upstate Bomber Series, Legends, Jr. Legends and mini stocks. In addition, the Eel River Transportation & Salvage Dirt 4 Bangers will make their debut while vintage midgets will also be on display.
Four races remain on the schedule for this season including Saturday night’s event. Brandon Barnwell is the leader in the championship standings for the Mid-City Motor World Late Models as he has a 39-point lead over Jerry Peterson. Trey Daniels leads Kylie Daniels by 41 points in the Legends. Jimmy Sorrels has a small 12-point gap over his son T.J. Sorrels in the Upstate Bomber Series standings.
As mentioned, the Eel River Transportation & Salvage Dirt 4 Bangers will be debuting Saturday night. The new class is a cost-effective division with all vehicles being stock two-wheel drive, four-cylinder vehicles. The only alterations that can be made to the cars are safety enhancements including roll cages and window nets. The division will race on the infield dirt track that was used during the fair night boat races. Raceway officials expect 10 cars for the Dirt 4 Bangers this Saturday.
Harper Motors will be hosting their 8th Annual Mustang Show And Shine in front of the main grandstands prior to Saturday’s races. Grandstands open at 3:30 PM Saturday with racing starting at 5:00 PM.
Pre-sale tickets for this Saturday are available at Don’s Rent-All in Eureka, JC Auto in Fortuna and McKinleyville Barbershop in McKinleyville as well as on RacinTheAcres.com. Rules, race results and full points standings can be found on the track’s website. Redwood Acres Raceway can also be found on Facebook and Instagram.
