2019 - 2026 Wednesday Night Drags Sonoma

Thanks Merlin for the update. I am just seeing your post. I was not able to make the first race but hope to be there for the rest of them. Yep, things are a bummer for sure now.

Thanks for the videos.
 
Thanks Merlin for keeping this thread going. Just not fun anymore to post much about Wednesday night drags. The powers that be at the track make it real "unfun" now. Glad you got my one and only pass of the day that I actually went down the track under power. My first run ended at the starting line, I spun bad got off of it then gave it another try and it spun again, no track prep will do that. My second run they gave me the wrong tree and I instantly went red, and then this was my 3rd run. I was worried about trying not to leave too hard for the fear of spinning again. So yeah, I got one decent run for $60. Nick did offer me a tech card for the next race, but I know Sonoma needs the money more than me seeing how they are just barely able to survive with the outstand deals they are giving us racers.....YEAH RIGHT!
 
I'll say it again because it bears repeating.
The drag program was never intended to make money. It was designed as community goodwill and outreach by giving people a safe and legal alternative to racing on the streets.
That mission statement seems to have been forgotten over the years. Sad.
 
Yeah and now where will the drifters all go? They gave them the axe already apparently. =/

I heard the drifts were axed because some fuckin knobs started a sideshow on 121 right at the track entrance :facepalm

Friend of mine mentioned that the last few times he went to the drifts on a Weds night the donut box crowd was looking more and more sketchy

There are drift events at thunderhill and probably elsewhere, but that's a hell of a schlep for people around here

Good stuff Merlin. :thumbup

Quite the battle between Joe and Brad...!
 
More 1/4 mile 8 and 9 seconds action. Wasn't a huge turn out on Wednesday so we were able to run every 30 minutes!
 
Telling it is one thing, watching it is the best. Thanks again for the video coverage, all while you are racing yourself! Keep up the good work Merlin. Fun times what few we have.
 
Thanks to Brad Hawkes for the first clip this was my first pass during the July WND. Rare to run it by myself you can get a good idea the sound a Redshift makes.

 
Wanted to post this here because it's partially about drag racing. Luckily from the last Wednesday Night Drags it is optimistic that Sonoma Drag racing will continue in 2025.

Yeah it's sad. Especially for the drag racing community.

If you ever wanted to try it, don't wait. Any day could be the last.
 
Awesome. Have a blast!! :thumbup
 
It's really sad what they did to that program.
I had the misfortune of watching it happen from the inside out.
