California Speedway is open this Saturday @ 6am. It cost $20 bucks to run your car through the 1/4 mile.

All you need is a helmet,unless you're faster than 11.5 sec

If you need more info, you can refer to their web site or give me a call.

I hope some of you guys can go. The weather should be perfect unless it decides to rain.

See you there...

Does anyone know if there are any upcoming opportunities to run on a 1/4 mile strip but on a Sunday or a Weekday?

What is the latest time that someone can run on the 4th at either Famoso or CA Speedway?

Please say 7pm I know, likely just wishful thinking.

Well, there's two of us so far. How many more do we need for a feasible rental?

Fontana (California Speedway) ends between 4:30 and 5 pm. Famoso is undetermined yet but most likely between 5 and 6 pm. Sorry

It's all good. Thanks for the info. I'm off by about 1 hour at Fontana and it's so close to me too. Oh well.

Hopefully, I can find a way to attend an upcoming CA rental.

I might be there, but I'm not going to use R/D tires.

I've never been to drag strip, though I will give it try to see the numbers before I get my car modded.

Do I need to register ?

No need to pre-register

Just show up in the morning and go through tech. There are lines, but, it's fun to watch the other cars run until its your turn.
