Definitely about time, I've always wondered how anyone sub 10 second could make it down our track. It's a bit scary even in the 11-12 second range.

I've ran low 10's and high 9's and I have had a few scary passes there. Mainly in the right lane. But I have also had super smooth passes. I never knew if it was the track or my car.

That's why I always thought it was my car. I have had plenty of straight passes also. I always heard people talking about its the track.

The only problem with the drift stuff is the crowd it brings. I'm mean they got a fucking DJ there playing music LOL. But I will say it has been a moneymaker for the track and some of the guys out there can drive pretty damn good.

I'd rather see people testing their burnout and drifting skills in a controlled enviroment vs our city streets. One way to introduce both crowds to each other's scene and ensure drag racing doesnt die out when the old guys do.

The best park would be people who "swang" their car in circle's try drifting the first time and crashing their car, now that would be entertaining

They should make a drift track strictly for making $, make it on a different night than drag nights, otherwise it could get crowded way too fast

their going to be open for drags on Wednesday already

from their page:

ATTENTION!

We WILL be open and racing this week...again, we will NOT be cancelling any events this week.

Our Wednesday Night Street Drags, Saturday Test & Tune and Sunday CMI events are still on!

For all those with confusion, the sealant is for longer term protection...the asphalt will be laid on Tuesday and the track will be ready by Wednesday afternoon.

Also, any racer wearing their Sacramento Raceway Wednesday Night Fun Drags T-shirt from the Wed night giveaway a couple weeks ago will receive $3 off their Tech Card! (Discount only on Wednesday 10/15)
