CHICO, Calif. — A record amount of wet weather continues to dominate the headlines in Northern California. With the recent excessive rain and more on the horizon, SLC Promotions has canceled the Mini Gold Cup scheduled for this weekend, March 17-18 at Silver Dollar Speedway.
“At this point, things are just out of our control with the massive amount of rain that has and continues to saturate our entire facility,” said Colby Copeland of SLC Promotions.
SLC Promotions was excited to bring the Mini Gold Cup back in 2023. This extraordinary race started in 1987 and ran yearly until 2019.
“This is something that we were all really excited to showcase again,” said Brad Sweet of SLC Promotions, referring to the Mini Gold Cup. “Our plan was to spotlight 410 sprint cars along with our local IMCA Sport Mods and Hobby Stocks. On Saturday we had planned to help kick off the 2023 NARC 410 sprint car series and bring in the BCRA Midget Lites.”
SLC Promotions investigated upcoming weekends to reschedule the Mini Gold Cup, but as track announcer Troy Hennig explained, “At this point there is no available upcoming weekends that we could foresee that didn’t impact other tracks and traveling series.”
