I thought some of you would like to know about this. The California Speedway located in the city of Fontana changed their 1/8 of a mile to a new 1/4 mile drag strip. As I recall, the construction of this drag strip was the result of attempting to diminish illegal street racing. As some of you can remember the Street Legal Drags were held at the Pomona Raceway in the past, however they were cancelled last year, I believe.

You can go here http://www.californiaspeedway.com to check out the schedule, first event according them will be SEPTEMBER 8-9.

 

only thing im questioning is the elevation. since pomona closed down, i've only been to palmdale and that track just sucks ***, i dont think its even nhra approved. hopefully this will be a nicer track.

 

Pomona had nice elevatioin. The California Speedway is not far from Pomona, so elevation should be the same.

 

Finally! Been waiting a while to get my drag fix. Especially now that the Hytech is in. yes!

vago- who hopes to break into the 13's.

 

yeah..i think it might be fun..

 

yes that is the superest thing in a while

EP want to race

 

cmon now..why do you always gotta turn things into a competetion..sure..lets race

 

man i was j/k you are the man i would never want to mess with you your car is so much better than mine i don't even know where to start i am like an ant and you are the queen but you know sometimes even the queen gets killed

i have been up all night

 

i am the queen? whats up with that..is that a dis or a compliment?

 

i am not sure. maybe both

 

since its pretty local for a lot of us lets make it happen. this way i can feel better about the things i leave in the pit while racing. Maybe we could take turns watching each others things.

I just don't feel comfortable leaving stuff out in the open with no one to watch it.

 

yeah that was a big concern, wheni gutted my car at pomona, i had my seats just laying there. didnt feel to comfortable about it but it was a big group so.. lets get this thing started, whos down to go?

 

i'd love to check it out...le me know.

 

Of course, you guys can count me in. I'm very curious to see the times that some of you will do.

Remeber that according to the rules they will open gates at 7am & they will only let 500 vehicles to race, so try to be there early or else no racing.

 

not sure if i'm goin the weekend of the 8-9th but i'll probly be there onthe 22nd for sure. we should have a small meetup for breakfast or something before hand so people don't get lost

 

Blitz has a valid point. Anyone go to the last pomona race? Lines for days!

I think i'll be getting there sometime around 5:30am. If this is open to domestics as well then i'll probably still be late. 500 spots seems like a lot but it WILL go quick.

If any of you where at the last Pomona event, you would remember that the cops with a CARB official had a checkpoint on the way to the freeway. They were pulling over all the cars that had "modified exhaust" and citing them. They even looked under the hood for non-CARB approved headers, etc. They also looked under the car to see if you removed the catalytic converter. So if your car is modified, you may want to look for another way to the freeway rather than the usual route.

 

Yes, domestics tend to be there very early. I wonder how many people know about this event, it just seems that not very many know about this.

Vago I'll see you there, I'll try to be there very early, I sure don't want the same thing to happen again like at Pomona.
