Title: Drag Racing at Sonoma!!
Post by: daltondavid on August 26, 2025, 04:09:01 PM
we had a Blast on Friday. Thank you to everyone who participated and observed. this was my first SAAC event where we had Drag racing and I would love to see it happen again. Jim Long and his crew from Motovision and Jay Bittle and the JBA crew showed up and performed for the amazement of all. Running in low 9's with his naturally aspirated 66 GT350 drag car. a crowd favorite was Ethan's 67 Fastback in Patina finish. he was clipping off 12.18 times and had the most runs of anybody! all in all it was a great event and I look forward to the next one!

I had a ball pairing off the runners! We did have many challenges and grudge matches!

Sounds like a blast.

Does anyone have Randy's car? Hopefully he was watching from above...

Just didn't seem right, Not seeing him in the swap meat area and being able to talk over 50yrs of old times. Does anyone know what happened with his car?

For anyone that has never done drag racing. You should try it at the next event. SAAC50 was the first time ever for me to be on a drag strip or even watch drag racing. Had no idea what i was doing. BUT IT WAS A BLAST.  Thanks to everyone that helped put on this event. Dennis   CC 1970 BOSS 302
