Officials with the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) are gearing up for their fifth season of racing in the Northwestern United States and Western Canada. Many new things are happening for this revived and revamped series for the 2011 season.

One of the biggest changes will be the introduction of a new series title sponsor, Trick Racing Fuels. ARCA West Director Richard Michaud says “We are happy to partner with a wonderful brand like Trick Racing Fuels. They are a large distributor of fuels that our racers use and depend on. We feel that the partnership will produce excellent results for everyone involved.” Michaud goes on to say “With this agreement and our continued commitment to the Pacific Northwest and Inner Mountain Region, we have a strong base for growth of the renewed ARCA West Super Late Model Series known as the ARCA West Trick Racing Series.”

Trick Racing Gasoline has been fueling the racing fun since 1979. Trick is committed to providing products unequaled in consistency, quality and composition for reproducible maximum performance. “With our prior involvement with ARCA West over the years, we know that this series will give us the marketing exposure in the Pacific Northwest and Inner Mountain Regions we are looking for in the racing world,” commented Mark Paul of Paul Oil Company and Trick Racing Gasoline.

Other changes include the reintroduction of ARCA West to the Northwest racing scene. After a three year hiatus from the Pacific Northwest, ARCA will have a renewed presence in the racing scene. The ARCA West Trick Racing Series will feature over six events at tracks in the Northwest and Canada. “We noticed a need for a racing series that allows the competitors to still compete at their home track and also get a taste of series events. We hope this will be an affordable solution for our competitors needs in a racing series,” says Michaud.

The revamped series is working with racers and teams, tracks, and sponsors to bring a solid Super Late Model series to the fans that crave the action. Michaud goes on to say “We have opened our rules to allow more competitors to races with the series, improved race day procedures for the drivers and teams, and brought back at the track payouts to help the teams with their expenses.” The goal of the new series is to put on the best show for the tracks and their promoters and showcase a quality entertainment product for their fans, all while helping the stars of the series to cut cost in racing.
The season will start off with two drivers meetings to be held during the first part of 2011 in Western Washington and Eastern/Central Washington. Dates for these meetings will be released in the near future.

The 2011 racing season will kick off at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington. Super Late Model drivers will compete on the 5/8 mile on April 2nd, with a practice session to held on April 1st.
