Default June 28th. @ LACR for all-Corvette drag racing

If you really want to celebrate and experience the 50th. anniversary of the Corvette and are interested in some all-Corvette drag racing, here is an opportunity for you!

Our June 28th. event, one in a series of all-Corvette Drag Racing WCCC events scheduled for this season, will be held at the Los Angeles County Raceway in Palmdale.

This event is open to ANY licensed driver of ANY Corvette, ANY year, ANY model. Your car may be bone stock, have the usual bolt-ons, be highly modified, even blown. Drive it in or bring your 9-second trailer queen! Everybody has an equal shot at winning! So long as your car can pass the tech inspection at the track, you can participate in this WCCC event. You can race just for the fun of it or you can join in the points competition AND race just for the fun of it!

Drivers from all levels of experience from the first-timer who has never drag-raced to experienced pros who have thousands of passes down the ¼ mile are welcome. WCCC events are designed to accommodate ALL levels of drag racers. Our more experienced racers will be more than happy to get new racers started. The main idea is for all of us to have FUN in the world’s greatest sports-car and to assist our nation’s firefighters and their families.

REGISTRATION and FEES: $ 35.00 (cash only please - $ 20.00 at the gate and $ 15.00 to WCCC) includes admission to the track, tech card, test and tune, friendly grudge matches, and single-bracket racing for trophies and other prizes!

PLEASE e-mail Gary Brown gfbrown@worldnet.att.net to let us know if you even think that you might be attending this event as we want to make sure we have enough trophies for all of our First Round Winners!

Please note that the gates open and Tech starts at 10:00 A.M. for this particular event as Junior Dragsters will be running later in the afternoon.

WCCC registration will begin at 10:15 A.M. and we will start our practice runs at about 11:00 A.M. with eliminations beginning at sometime after lunch. Make sure to stay for the trophy presentations!

Directions to LACR:

Los Angeles County Raceway is an NHRA Championship Drag Strip. LACR is located at 6850 East Ave. T, Palmdale, CA. (93550). LACR is 45 minutes from the San Fernando Valley just off the Antelope Valley freeway on Palmdale's Eastside. From Los Angeles take the 5 Frwy. North to the 14 Frwy. North (Antelope Valley Frwy.) get off at Pearblossom Hwy. take it until it crosses Hwy. 138 where it will turn into East Avenue "T". LACR is one mile down Ave. "T" on the right hand side.

Is there a class for "Old Fart Granny Shifters"? I'd like to try it, but I'm going to a concert in San Jaun Capistrano that evening.

OK, you guys talked me into it (I can be the comic relief). RyanO, I was planning to get there via Crest/Angeles Forrest Hwy. (110, 5, to the 2). let me know time/place to meet, we can cruise over and down together.

I was planning on taking the 2 and splitting off and heading straight up to the 14?.. but after looking at it on the map it looks like a tough drive through the mountians.

Has anyone made it?

Maybe we should make it a regular cruise and save it for another day.

I will probably just chicken out and go 5 -> 14.

Let me know if anyone is headed up that way.

Joe.. let me know what point is closest to you.

Ryan, the roads are open; I just drove them last weekend ( Angeles Crest is closed out east by Big Pine Hwy). Anyway, I'm going out via Angels Crest-Angeles Forrest Hwy out to Pearblossom. Let me know if you want to come this way or I'll see you at the strip
