LAKEPORT, Calif. – It’s “Back-to-School Night” at the Lakeport Speedway this Saturday night, and back by popular demand will be the Pro-Drifters.
Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control and driving the car through the entirety of a corner.
With an overabundance of horsepower, the drifters appear to be out of control all the way around the track while running inches away from the crash wall.
The Nor-Cal Pro-4 Modified drivers are hosting the “Back-To-School Night” by giving all the kids school supplies and personal autographs.
Then just before the Pro-4 Modified 30 lap main event two bicycles will be given away as well as two back packs loaded with school supplies.
Plus the points season continues with the NCRA Modifieds, The Taco Bell Bombers, the D&P Pool Legends Cars, and the Anderson Logging Bandoleros.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing at 6 p.m. Admission prices are only $10 for adults and $5 for kids ages 6 to 11. A special family pass is available for $30 which admits two adults and three kids. Children age 5 and under get in free.
For more information on the races, visit NCRA – Lakeport Speedway on Facebook or call the business office at 707-274-1662.

California’s dove hunting season is rapidly approaching, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is now accepting applications for dove hunts throughout the state on both public land and private ranches.
Hunters are reminded that nonlead ammunition is now required for hunting doves and taking wildlife anywhere in California with a firearm.
The first half of the split dove season will be open statewide from Sept. 1 to 15. The second half will be open statewide from Nov. 9 through Dec. 23.
For mourning dove and white-winged dove, the daily bag limit is 15, up to 10 of which may be white-winged doves. The possession limit is triple the daily bag limit. There is no limit for spotted dove or ringed dove, but the season dates are the same as for mourning dove and white-winged dove. Eurasian collared-dove is the only dove species that can be hunted year-round, with no bag or possession limit.
Several dove hunting opportunities are available by drawing only throughout California for the upcoming dove season as part of CDFW’s Upland Game and SHARE programs.
Special drawings for public land dove hunting opportunities through the Upland Game Bird Hunting program will be available at the following locations:
– Merced and Stanislaus counties: North Grasslands Wildlife Area (China Island and Salt Slough units), Los Banos Wildlife Area.
– Sacramento County: Cosumnes River Preserve.
– Fresno County: Pilibos Unit of the Mendota Wildlife Area.
– San Diego County: San Felipe Wildlife Area.
– San Luis Obispo County: North Chimineas Ranch, Carrizo Plains Ecological Reserve.
Drawings for limited public access to private lands through the SHARE Program will be available at the following locations:
– Santa Barbara County: Harrington Farms, Jones Ranch and Sleepy Creek Ranch.
– Tulare County: Hart Ranch.
Hunters can apply for these opportunities online, at CDFW license sales offices, through retail license agents or by calling 800-565-1458.
