Ratty41, how are going that it takes you 1.5 hours to get to Infineon from Santa Rosa? It's only 35 miles and they have one of the best programs going with racing a couple nights a week, plus great events on some week-ends. Sacramento Raceway is open a lot, sometimes 4 days a week. Plenty of chances to run a car. I expect we will see more curfews and noise restrictions.

Drag racing is the only motor sport I know where the fans can get right in the pits and watch the work on the cars, and have the race cars thread their way through the crowd on the way to staging.

I think draag racing is alive and well, it's just different than it was 40 years ago, just like everything else.

for the past year, and continuing into 2008(2009 with caltrans) there has been huge construction on the 101 widening it to 3 lanes. so with my pickup and trailer, it takes about an hour. i didnt mean to exaggerate it so much. normally it takes about 35 minutes, but with the 101 stopped, it takes a little bit longer. im not complaining really. im sorry if i came off that way. infineon is a beautiful racetrack. im lucky i have such a nice place to go to. hell, i helped my dad haul in bedrock for the track when they remodeled the facility. it was quite a sight to see my dads kenworth and his friends peterbilt running around the track.
