This just in from AMA Pro Racing:
The Ramspur Winery Calistoga Half-Mile presented by Triumph, previously scheduled on Sept. 26 as Round 13 of the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track schedule, has been postponed due to the California wildfires. Calistoga Speedway is located at the Napa County Fairgrounds, which are being used as an evacuation center for those displaced by the fires.
“For now, our immediate thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost their homes and had their lives turned upside down by this fire,” said Terry Otton, on behalf of the event promotion team. “The management of the Napa County Fairgrounds and Calistoga city officials have assured us that they will do all they can to help us find a date to reschedule.”
“We echo Terry’s sentiments,” said Michael Gentry, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of the Napa region during this difficult time.”
Discussions are ongoing between the promoters of the event and city officials regarding the rescheduling of the race. The new event date will be released as soon as it is established.
