I used to tow my 65 A/FX replica up from San Fran, and we liked waiting for all the street cars to run down the track. Gave us more time between rounds to tune.

I think they need another track too. Sac is fine for grudge racing, but the facility blows for big events.<br /><br />Infineon doesnt care about "bracket racers" anymore. They treat us like street racers, even if we run every week there. They cater to the "pro's" more than the weekend warrior. (By pro I mean, the NHRA divisional racers). They will let elecetronics cars run more time runs than the hobby racer.<br /><br />Half-moon bay, Fremont, Baylands,... those were the good ol' days.<br /><br />Sac has the best 60 ft times, but Infineon has better "lane" conditions.<br /><br />maybe someone will fork out a few mil. to convert the old santa Rosa airport into a 1/4 mi stip, or even a 1/8 mi. strip would keep me happy, if it would run every weekend. <br /><br />Too bad its a dying industry. Insurance companies and real estate prices have virtually killed the drag race genre on the west coast. <br /><br />You ever seen those back-woods drag strips back east, or in the south? hell, they have trees hanging over the track!!! But at least they have a place to race, instead of on the street, killing people.(instead, they get killed on a country road-turned drag strip) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HaulnAssMaro</b> <br /><small>Member # 541</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,0,28,0,6,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Poisoned Pony:<br /><strong> <a href="http://www.sacramentoraceway.com/sacgrudgenews.htm" target="_blank">http://www.sacramentoraceway.com/sacgrudgenews.htm</a> <br /><br />look in the blue area on the left.
