Default So Cal Meet??? Carlsbad Raceway??? Would you come?

EDIT: It is a drag strip and is 12.00 to get in 10.00 more to race.
Funny how other posts make you think about new ones.

Meets always happen at a park or some place that there really isn't anything to do.

What about a meet at a track where the **** talkers can race (legally) and everyone can watch safely???

Just wondering who would go.

Edit again: http://carlsbadrags.tripod.com/

EDIT AGAIN: What the hell more info you ask!?!?! IMPORT SHOOT OUT May 19th

there is always a reason to go to carlsbad. the fact that you know a bunch of other imports will be there makes it more fun.

The drags start at noon.....the line forms across the street and up the hill. So instead of turning left after business parkway you make the right and get in line.

that place is not worth (my opinion) going to! to get there you have to drive through a dirt road, and if your car is lowered more than inch you just might lose the front bumper on that road, the track officials are domestic luvin' hicks who find any excuse to kick any import racer out, the staging lanes are at an incline so you have to hold the e-brake up to stage, and good luck trying to find a paved spot in the pit area the domestics take up all the space, the only spaces left are usually the unpaved spots.
if you guy's have a drag strip meet, i suggest california speedway in fontana, they have the (my opinion) best drag strip in southern cali, and its 10 bucks to watch and an a extra 10 bucks to race

Fontana is a wack track its street only. that means ONLY STREET TIRES... NO OPEN HEADER. your exhuast cant be louder then some stupid decible reader... i think carlsbad is a alright track the roads to it suck but the track it self is fine. i was just there 3 days ago and timed my car.

LETS DO THIS SHIET PEOPLE. IM GAME
