Event Coverage Eagle Field Fresno Dragways Reunion DRAG RACES!

well I'd like to see it. Wish I had a kid to play with things like that.

 

mctim ,There was one there in Oct for the first show....

 

No trailers? So I have to get registration, D.O.T. street slicks, and insurance? Can't we at least trailer to the Field?

 

I'll have to bring a trailer too, no way will I drive the FED 100 miles to get there.

 

I'm glad someone mentioned the "No trailers" thing. My car won't be driving there. Seems like it would lock a lot of people out in that case. At least several buddies of mine who were thinking of going...

 

The "No Trailers" policy is just along the fence line guys, there is plenty of room for trailers in the pits. A number of racers who drove in really enjoyed parking along the fence line (caution tape) and watching the races between their runs, these racers won't be able to park in the spectator area anymore so I'm saving a place just for them. You can trailer your cars in NO PROBLEM! Rocky

 

Too bad Eagle Field is in the middle of nowhere.

 

But a good thing as it lets the event happen.

 

A couple of notes..............BellAir Motorsports (www.bellairmotorsports.com) is making up some cool collectibles for the event, they are only doing a small production runs so you'll want to check out their trailer display in vendor row early. I am also having plenty of paper posters done (selling for under $5 to offer an affordable souvenir) and naturally Ron and Tamara from the ShirtShak are going to be on hand printing event shirts in the hanger. The Reunion is looking to be a FANTASTIC event with plenty to do in just the short time we will have on the 22nd. If all the people (who participated at Fresno Dragways) I've have spoke with show up we are in for a treat starting first thing at breakfast, so get there early and plan too stay late so you don't miss a thing! Rocky

 

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! ...er, I mean SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY!

 

A question on race rules. Are we allowed a co-driver with proper equipment? Like properly installed passenger seat with five point harness and approved helmet? (Chicks dig it)! Some test'n tune track days allow a passenger if you keep it over 14 seconds. Not hard to do with a good brake pedal!!

 

No passengers allowed at this time, let her drive it!

 

OK, hope you have strong guard rails!!

 

We're using concrete blocks (see post #117 in this thread) that weigh up to 8,000 lbs She has to sign on your tech card and release waiver (3 MAX including driver, age 18 and over) at racer registration when you register your car. "O" and this offer is for mild street cars (14 seconds and slower) at my discretion, Rocky

 

Check out the metal sign sample VVVV

 

Total awesomeness dude. Needs the date though. I've got a horrible memory!

Speaking of which, did those pics come through OK? I think I have a couple more on my work laptop with B25 pics. I'll look.

 

Whooo whoooo!! I'm getting excited about this- I've been sending out emails to folks to try and up the attendance!

 

Damn Rocky that sign is awsoooommeee.....

 

You were right Rocky those are cool........I'll take 2 please.

 

Ill take one of those signs too....Very Cool!

 

Sounds very cool. Enjoying the art. A t-shirt with that might be nice when they are available...

 

Thanks for the good words, I'll pass the responce on to my friends at BellAir Motorsports. Yep Charlie I got the photos and let Johnny know I'll get him a press pass to shoot photos.

 

COOL !!!! SIGN !!!!!....I haven't figured out the easiest way to do that look on T-shirts yet...our big machine will do it.....But it's costly to make T's that way.....so for now....were gonna keep it old school style.

 

That's sweet!

 

Ron, don't change a thing, you and Tamara do a GREAT JOB! Rocky

 

Thank you Sir......but you know me.....always trying new things. Speaking of that....me and Dad were trying to figure out the nightmare logistics of printing shirts....of me...him....Tammy...and our boy....all making passes....and trying to enjoy the show.....Then...loading it all up after a rewarding day and making the trek to Famoso on Sunday for my boy's first "real" junior dragster race.....the things racers will do to race!

 

I told Johnnie and he's stoked. Thanks all around.

 

20 Days until the BIGGEST HA/GR race on the WEST Coast! Field includes Old6's Slant 6 Middie, Joe Roseberry's Chevy 6 powered "Streamliner", "Gorilla" Racing's flathead Pontiac 6 powered entry, ThingyM's Chevy six powered rail driven by Royal Shifter, the team of greasel-kustomdlux & Saubo Nasty and our Falcon 6 powered HA/GR. Gonna be a "SHOOTOUT"

 

Do we need to pre register if we want to be in the drags?

 

No, you can register at the event. Pay the general admittance fee ($10) at the gate, then go to Racer Registration in the spectator area near the starting line to purchase you tech card ($20). If you pre-register it will all be ready for you to pick-up at the gate Sat. morning AND your entered in the $500 cash prize raffle.
