2020 VRA Hobby Stocks
After further discussion and consideration for current VRA Hobby Stock Competitors, Ventura Raceway has decided to continue with its own Hobby Stock program for 2020. The IMCA program suggested had too many issues that could eliminate some of our current racers, We will be working on rules and regulations for next season and beyond to try to get a set of rules that all VRA competitors can conform to.
