BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Nev. (June 9) – After four-plus seasons and 61 events, the EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Tour ventures into new territory calendar-wise with a Wednesday and Thursday, June 15-16 doubleheader at Battle Mountain Raceway.

Pit gates open at 4 p.m. and the grandstand opens at 5 p.m. Hot laps are at 6 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m. IMCA national, ButlerBuilt Western Region, Allstar Performance State and special series points will be awarded.
Grandstand admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students and free for kids five and under accompany¬ing a paying adult. Pit passes are $25; car and driver is $65. Cost of overnight parking in the pit area is $10.
Justen Yeager has a formidable lead in the current series point standings after just three events. He’d won both tour races at Battle Mountain enroute to capturing the 2009 WWMT crown.
Ricky Alvarado topped both the feature at Battle Mountain and the series point standings in 2008. Ryan Cotrell and Cory Sample were winners there last June.
