Television cameras will be making their way to Cental Missouri Speedway and Missouri's State Fair Speedway in 2004. Full Throttle Productions will have cameras on hand at both speedplants to produce a show to be shown on a variety of stations throughout the region.

On July 23, the Full Throttle crews will be in Sedalia at Missouri's State Fair Speedway taping the weekly action as Street Stocks, Mighty Modifieds, and WOW Winged 360 Sprints take to the track. The current schedule has the air date for August 14 with a re-air window of August 14-27.

The action at Central Missouri Speedway takes center stage for the tv audience on August 28 with an airing of the weekly show from August 14. Mighty Modifieds, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, and Limited Late Models will take to the track with their high horsepower ballet that evening. The re-air window for the CMS event is August 28 - September 18.

When contacted at her home, CMS co-owner Susan Walls, was having a hard time showing her excitement. "This is something that we really tried to do last year, but things just didn't work out. This year having both Central Missouri Speedway and Missouri's State Fair Speedway televised is just wonderful! We're looking forward to working with the Full Throttle crew to put on a great show that will give the audience a taste of what the racing at these two facilities is like."

The Full Throttle broadcast will be anchored by the tandem of "The Racin' Boys" Scott Traylor and Kirk Elliot. The host of the popular 810 WHB radio show "The Racin' Boys" will see Kirk providing the play by play announcing and Scott filling in as color analyst. A third member of the announcing team, Ron Keith, will be roaming the pits to keep the audience up to date on what's braking news throughout the night. All three memebers of the broadcast team have years of experience in the local racing scene both as competitors and analyst.

"Promoting local racing and local drivers is what 'Full Throttle' is all about" said Executive Producer Stephen Griswold."We are very excited to partner with some of the great tracks in the Kansas City area to bring their product to a broader audience." "Full Throttle" broadcasts will take advantage of technology, employ some of the most seasoned racing commentators in the area. Beyond the technology and the quality of the crew, above all a "Full Throttle" show will be a fun show to watch and one Kansas City will be proud to call its own."

"This is not only a big deal for both of our tracks, but it's very big for our drivers and their sponsors," continued Susan Walls. "The sponsors are looking to get the most exposure possible and this gives them an additional oppurtunity to do so. We're grateful to the Full Throttle crew for giving us this oppurtunity."
