Default *****VA RDW 1/4 mile Track Rental Friday, May 28th sign up thread******

Ok Ladies and Gents, I can fit in a max of 25 vehicles at $125 each.
Johnny has been great to us once again, as long as we get 12 cars we are on!

I thank all of you in the past for your good behavior, which allows this to continue to happen.

Worse case if we don’t get enough vehicles ……. I will refund everyone’s money ASAP....Based on the previous demand this should be a non issue.

So, if all goes well we will be SIDE BY SIDE RACING ON FRIDAY from 9am till 3pm at Richmond Dragway once again

Gates will open at 8am on Friday and we will begin running at 9:00 am.

Please bring your own shoe polish for dial ins for the quick 8 and bracket race.

Right now I can't guarantee any awards like last time....... but bragging rights are a good start!

6 hours of racing

The concession stand MAY be open, if so it will be around noon

They will prep the track at least 100 feet in each lane for the day and keep it up!

This Track Rental would be a great chance to learn how to race/ tweak your car in a laid back no pressure environment.
Some rules:

REMEMBER, when picking up your time slips through the day from the bottom of the tower, if you won take the white original, if you lost take the yellow copy PLEASE!

I will have a quick drivers meeting near the tower around 9am, it will be announced on the PA system.

I will also have Drag racing 101 for the 1st timers at the xmas tree right after the drivers meeting

Please make sure you and anyone with you signs the back of your tech card!

PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHERE YOU PARK, don't block anyone in.......PLENTY OF ROOM!

If you have any questions come find me………..it will be easy as I will have my fire jacket on with my forum name


All Vehicles and bikes welcome

You can bring 3 people per car (including driver) at no extra charge!

NO OTHER SPECTATORS ALLOWED

NO GLASS ALLOWED, but bring anything you want to eat/drink except participating drivers and crewmembers are strictly prohibited from consuming and using drugs and alcoholic beverages.

Check out this link for specific track rules, directions, etc: RICHMOND DRAGWAY|HOME OF THE 2003 IHRA TEAM FINALS CHAMPIONS

Our rain date policy……..Worse case you get your full $125 back if we can’t reschedule!

If it rains out before we get started nothing will be due by anyone and we will try to work out some way to hopefully reschedule - a rain out during the event, we will pro-rate the $$$ over how many hours you got to run versus the 6 scheduled hours!


I never cash any of the checks until after the race in case we get rained out.

Sorry no pay pal........

Paid as of 5/21/10:

1 AT& NB ??????
2 blue94 94' C4
3 11SECGT 01' GT
4 hoovsgt 06' BONE STOCK GT
5 dohcsvt 08' GT500
6 js23881 99' C5
7 RexHarris 07' Z06
8 347stang 90' LX
9 MarkC5GN 01' C5
10 K Kerns 02 Z06



Why I get the $$$ in my hand, you go on the list..........if ya snooze ya may not get a spot!
Please post questions & PM/e-mail for payment info……

Ladies & gentleman………. Time to start your engines!

I sure would like to do this! I haven't ran the 1/4 mile since 1974 in my '73 Vega where I won best in class at the Cecil County Drag O Way in Rising Sun, MD. (me and a Pinto!)...

I'd like to join you in my 10 GS MN6 but I have a run up to visit homeboys in Niagara Falls over Memorial Day weekend...

Maybe next time.

That Suks, sorry to hear not enough signed up, I had a great time before. I want to play again, I just can't afford a new transmission and trailer for a few more months.

Better luck this fall.
