Pahrump Valley Speedway set
• Longtime resident Bob Huffman was among the many
people to help build Pahrump Valley Speedway in the early'
1980s and he watched many a race at the quarter-mile clay
oval. Now he'll be getting a close-up view of the action at
the Speedway as operational manager.
Huffman, former owner of the Saddle West, and several
other Valley residents joined together earlier this year to
purchase the local race facility.
"l'm a race fanatic," said Huffman. "I make just about
every race each year."
And what Huff'man hopes to be seeing this year are more
races, more divisions and other special events.
"Basically,, our goal is to make it a recreational entertain-
men] centen" he said. "'We're going to start with a hi-weekly
,'acing program but I'd like to have racin,- every weekend
and, if possible, to = oet other events such as a tqea market
going Racing will be the backbone of our program."
The first race of the season, featuring 1MCA modifieds.
modified streets and dwarf cars. will be March 15.
"We'll have at least three divisions every night," Huffman
said of his race plans. "We're looking for a good solid last-
moving, fast-paced three-hour show."
To help him atain his goals. Huffman has brought in a
pair of veteran race hands. Buzz Woods, with more than 20
years experience including car building and crew chief du-
ties, will be the chief steward. And Spud Dimkins of Bakers-
field. Calif.. who promoted races at Pahrump Valley Speed-
way, in California as well as Airport Speedway in Ama-
rillo. Texas.
"'Buzz is one of the people who first opened the track and
said. "'I was fortunate to ,,et him to come out and join us.
And when I knew I was going to be invoh,ed in this, Spud
was one of the first people I called. He's got a wealth of
experience."
Huffman said he will be working closely with Simkins
to bring a variety of racing classes to Pahrump.
"There's a lot of things we're working on." he said. "We
want to develop more divisions of racing classes to Pahr-
ump.
.... We're getting an extensive amount of interest in get-
ting a jalopy class going again - a toally stock division,
other than safety equipment. And I know Sped has some
ideas.
"We're going to try to give the people in this area the
best entertaimnent we can."
