-After the races we have to go on the annual cruise around town to lay some smack down.
-I will have the shirts and hoodies with me.
-The street legals usually have 100+ cars racing, and at least that in spectators.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 @ CASTROL RACEWAY
-This weekend is a regular bracket race weekend at the track so there will be a lot of spectators and some pretty good drag racing to watch.
- We will be sharing the track with the bracket racers, but we will have our own (Syclone and Typhoon) class. $50 per car and driver.
-Sorry but racing is limited to Syclone's and Typhoon's only.
-The gates will open at 8am, tech will start about 8:30am, test and tune at 10am.
-This is an IHRA sanctioned track so all IHRA rules apply.
-Car show, so if you don't want to race, polish up you truck and bring it to the show for $20 including admission. Those with out trucks are welcome as well. $20/Adult and $10/Youth and 12 and under are free.
-Also, the staff at Castrol Raceway is great, they delay the tree a few seconds to allow us to build boost at the starting line.
-Please reply to this thread if you are coming and whether you will be racing or not.
-There will be a BBQ and drinks after the track at my place which is just down the highway from the track. You can pm or email me for directions but most of you can just follow me there from the track. Dinner will be $10 per person, We will supply the pop, but BYOB, will will stop by the Beer store on the way from the track to my place.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7
This day can be optional.......I'm thinking meet for breakfast or the 100 foot drag race in Lacombe (south of Edmonton) that starts a 9:00 am, we can vote about it on Saturday.
We've gone to some of these before and they are pretty fun.
