2019 - 2026 Wednesday Night Drags Sonoma

Just a heads-up...
I spoke with my daughter today.
It looks like the racing will be canceled this week due to fire/power issues.
Not really a surprise under the circumstances.

Yes, I saw it earlier today. Thanks for the heads up.
 
Second too last Wednesday night drags for the year at Sonoma raceway.

Only two more Wed. Night Drags & Drift remain for the year! Bring four non-perishable food items to Gate 1 and receive a free Wed. Night Drags & Drift spectator pass for 2020.
 
Final Wednesday night drag race of the year at Sonoma, is 11-13-19. Motorcycle season points champion will come down to this final race. I have a slim 3 point lead and multi time champ Doug Love has been on a roll this last month to close the gap. Expecting a big crowd as there is a special Big Money shoot out in one of the car classes. Come on out if you can. Gates open at 3:30 racing starts at 4PM.

I'm at work, Joe....but I'm pulling for you from here!:thumbup
Give me an update when you can.
 
Ran Doug in the first round. I choked. .052 red. Doug had to win the event to beat me in points, he won the season championship with the win in the finals. I lead from start to finish up until the last race in the last round...….I was just keeping it warm for him.

Just got back from Sac tonight (test & tune) had to get my mind right from my blunder at Sears on Wednesday. Far as I know, they will run to the end of 2020. Then after that, not sure. Was told if it doesn't sell, they will continue to run until the county locks them out. Others said they got a extension again and have more time, but who knows. I was going to ask Jr (owners son) but got sidetracked.

Well if u get around to asking be cool if u posted up what was said.
 
Every year is Sacramento's last year.
It's been that way for at least the last 5 years.
 
Yeah I know, but this time it's really on the market. $11 million is the asking price.
 
Wednesday Night Drags first race of the season was last week. Another one this week the 29th.

Racers only and I guess pit crew. Gates open at 3pm.
 
Yeah I was planning to go but I was working on my bike and didn't finish on time :(
 
I won't be there this Wednesday, if you go have fun and good luck.
 
Was great getting out there and hanging out with everyone again. Seems like it's been so long. There were so many cars and plenty of bikes. Probably more than a dozen. Only got 2 practice runs then got eliminated in the first round. Raced a CBR1000RR it's was a really close race too beat me by 0.1971sec!

So my 28 or 29sec Sur Ron is now a 19 or 20sec Sur Ron! The first run was SUPER rare there was a tailwind! I was able to run a 19.197! The next 2 runs that headwind was back and it bumped me down to 20.8. So that tailwind messed me up because the times were different so I didn't know what to dial so I split the difference and went with 20.0sec. Then what do you know I ran a 20.8 in the race, had I had one more practice run and got that 20.8 I would have said ok we're dialed in and went with a 20.8 or 20.7.

Was a lotta fun though :) Kinda strange having to the wear the masks and all but pretty much the same.

Probably my fastest pass ever on this bike. There is still some room for improvement, some programming and maybe a sprocket change will help.

Rare opportunity to get a shot right before the strip. A vehicle puked fluid all over the track so we had to wait for them to mop it up. There was a lot of waiting for broken vehicles also =/
