CalSpeed Street Drags @ Buttonwillow Raceway - Sat, Aug 28th (7pm-Midnight)

**Jim @ CalSpeed** · 08-17-2010

CalSpeed & Performance is pleased to announce we will be putting on a street / drag race event Aug 28th (Saturday Night 7pm-Midnight).

This is a fully legal street race that mimics illegal street racing but is fully legal in a safe environment. Ambulance will be on site.

If you are looking for a place to alot of street racing without the worry of getting ticketed / impounded or putting yourself or others in danger. This is your race.

ALSO There will be a full working Xmas 1/4 mile tree setup, with timers ran down both sides giving FULL 1/4 MILE TIMESLIPS (not required to run tree, can start races with flagger/light etc or just go green on tree)

Where:

Buttonwillow Raceway (road race track)
24551 Lerdo Hwy
Buttonwillow, CA 93206-9779

Cost
$15 to Race plus gate fee ($10 I believe)
Spectators only pay the track gate fee

Details:
-We have rented the track and we will be using the 1/2 mile straight backstretch of the track (1/4 mile race, 1/4 mile shutdown area). Basically we will be doing the same time of setup as you would see at alot of street races.

-Spectators can park inside in the field area next to the staging lanes, spectators will be behind starting line only, minimal lighting since it out on the track area and will mimic a normal street racing. All cars will have only head/tail lights (required) to illiminate the road.

-Bring your own VHT if you want, we will be spraying VHT as well as torching the starting line to make it hook decent.

-Every car will require a seat belt and a wear a helmet. (Feel free to share helmets). All cars will be teched for basic safety.

-All cars must be "street cars". This includes "street race Cars". License plate/tagged preferred. Trailers ok. Any cars considered too dangerous to safely make passes will be prohibited, any cars deemed unsafe will not be able to further run. (If you cant keep it on the track and in your lane)

-No cars faster than 10.0 ET. (Alot of 9 sec cars will not likely be able to put down a 10.0 or faster pass on a street like track, so doesnt eliminate many people)

-No alcohol of any type from racers or spectators. Anyone found drinking or even in possession will be ejected immediately. NO EXCEPTIONS. It is not allowed on the premises during this event.

-There will be a catering / taco truck on site for food & drinks. A few port-a-potties will be out near the starting line as well. There will be a crew of CalSpeed employees/volunteers coordinating and running the event as well.

We have alot of street racers from Fresno, LA, Sacramento, Santa Maria, Los Angeles etc coming and even if you arent racing, expect to see alot of REALLY fast 9/10/11 sec "Street cars" doing alot of racing. We will be putting this event on about once a month if this goes as well as expected.

Any questions feel free to PM me or reply and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Im in Jim.

From the look of it and all the emails/calls ive gotten. Looks like a pretty good turnout.

We have a bunch of confirmed guys bringing a few 9 sec cars and about a dozen 10 sec street cars...then ton of random 11-13 second cars (bunch of 12-14 second trucks etc) then the who knows random cars showing up etc...

since this is our own event, pretty much anything goes on what everyone wants to do...trying to keep this is as similar to a get together bbq street race as possible but without any cop hassle.

I figured the taco truck and port-a-potties would make for a nice plus and then getting timeslips if you want them.

Any suggestions let me know.

Im willing to bet lunch that I tax your V6 Jason. My car for some damn reason does really well on the street. Then, after I beat you, we will see who can carry more speed through the esses!! Just an FYI, I can go flat out 4th gear through the esses...HAHAHA!!!
