Sacramento dragway
What is Sacramento dragway like traction wise do they do a decent prep job. I have not been there in over 20 years I understand it is going to close at some point next year. There is a National open there the beginning of May. Would you rate there traction good average or poor. How does it compare to Fontana dragway traction wise. . I know it is old but more interested in how there traction is at a good event. I don't want to drive 6 hours to smoke the tires.

Re: Sacramento dragway
Good but you should have a spotter line you up starting about 3 cars in advance.
Oh - and avoid being behind a stick shift car (track stealers) The air can be exceptional in the morning. Use to be home for us. Ron

Re: Sacramento dragway
I'm not local at all but have been at the national open race there in the spring last several years and the traction has been excellent.

Re: Sacramento dragway
Track is always good at the National Open, seems like there are records set every year.

Re: Sacramento dragway
As it stands now Sacramento is likely the fastest track in division 7..
A lot of records have been set there.... If you want to take a shot, a National Open is the place to do it...

Re: Sacramento dragway
One of the truly consistent bonehead schedule moves has been that the Sac Open is on the same weekend as the Boise Div. I am sure that both races suffer on car count because of this.

Nope.... Anything over 13.2 feet either down or up hill gets a correction factor... I remember back to when they checked the wind speed on record runs.. Just sayin'
