Default Sacramento Raceway

Sacramento Raceway has issued a statement on Instagram that they have a potential buyer lined up for the land SRP owns and operates. The sale is by no means official yet and further statements will be made as things progress. The current timeline for the sale is September 2023. They intend on finishing the 2023 racing season either way. If sold there would be no racing at SRP in 2024. Further comments by SRP said the County had been making it very difficult to operate for several years and they feel they have basically run out of options. However, as they did note the fight is not over until its over.

Its getting very hard to be a drag racer in northern California. With Sonoma Divisional gone as well as Fontana and Phoenix closing, I wish the Division Director could make a statement on the future of drag racing in Division 7.

Some way, somehow, we need the Sonoma LODRS back. I think with some of the recent improvements made, Redding should be considered for an LODRS, too.

Otherwise we might as well just schedule Vegas 4x and hope we can hang on to the double at Famoso (Bakersfield).

Yay, California. As it is now I’ll be 3 hours away from the nearest place I can test once Sacramento closes its doors for good.

So frustrating to see this, was only a matter of time and hats off to the family for holding on this long. We have very few options left. Sad to see what has become of this state, John

Almost everyone on CA is in the same bucket. Either the NHRA will have to solve this problem or we we will. it maybe the only wat to rave is forming our own sportsman group

A division race at Sonoma and Pomona would really move things in a positive direction. We can dream of great things I suppose. Much respect if the new Division Director could pull that off.

Thanks for posting Darren.
Hope you don’t mind if I add..

Thanks to Sacramento for taking up the slack in sportsman class and bracket racing.
Just for info-Fallon had a huge storm wipe out facilities and they are asking for help.
Loosing Sacramento is like strike three! Most of us here have fond memories of Sacramento , Fremont and Sears Point DRAG racing.
Redding has had a management shakeup I’m told so let’s see what happens there.

Correction/ My mistake , Sonoma had One Mask race during covid….
A special Thanks to local racers and businesses that have supported a small bracket program for the racers here.
Where will the local up and coming JR drag racers , high school kids and gear heads go??
Not all these kids are into circle and road racing. They need an avenue!
One of the nicest tracks on the West Coast and centrally located does not have a sportsman drag race program. Why?

Hi John! I was told it’s on Facebook ( I’m not on there) and that a storm had done some damage and they needed help. Maybe someone here can look?
