 Wild West Shoot Out. New to the Altamont Motorsports Park road course this year will be "Formula-4" -- a new Altamont class combining the popular "Buzz Bombs" with other cars having 4-cylinder engines.

Motorcycle racing also makes a great return to Altamont Motorsports Park. The SuperMoto USA National Championship will bring its very popular, hard-charging motorcycle competition back to the Altamont road course.

And speaking of road course racingOback by popular demand, and then some, will be not one but two "24 Hour of LeMons" events (www.24hoursoflemons.com) -- one in July and one in October. This playful spoof on the world-famous, French classic 24 Hours of LeMans provides $500 competition cars to run for the money (or lemons) in 24 hours of semi-continuous endurance driving, mixed in with some semi-continuous endurance partying and great fun. More than 35 cars entered the inaugural "24 hours" at Altamont Motorsports Park in 2006 -- the winner having completed 1,500 laps of the Altamont Motorsports Park road course. It was such a popular event, capturing the fancy, ingenuity, and humor of so many "car guys," (and even a comment from National Public Radio's Car Talk Click and Clack duo) that one event just would not handle all the registrants looking for a spot in 2007. The July 2007 event already boasts more than 100 entries!
