Default OCHP & RET's California Speedway Drag Day Event

UPDATE #2: I've been contacted by the Auto Club Dragway Manager and we're rescheduling this event due to rain. Her and I are going to meet at some point next week and discuss alternate dates in which we may have this event. Please be patient, and as always, contact me if you have any questions or regards to this situation.

I'll keep everyone posted as far as what goes on to the best of my ability. Thanks.

UPDATE #1: This concerns the those of you in which registered for this event. The date has been changed to Saturday, December 13th due to the following reason.

My contact at California Speedway informed me that their "go to guy" for track prep (the same individual in which does the PSCA events) was unavailable from November 28th-December 7th because he has prior arrangements to be in Vegas prepping the track for the Winter Nationals. This would mean that we would have a second rate track staff prepping the track for us during his absence and this is unacceptable. The earliest that the "go to guy" could bless us with his skills would be the weekend he comes home which is that of the 13th of December. I was asked by a large majority of individuals to make the change of date to accommodate everyone with traction being as how there are going to be 5-6 8.xx second cars and a handful of 9.xx and 10.xx second cars as well.

I apologize to those of you in which this is an inconvenience for. If you're now unable to attend due to the date change, please contact me and I will refund your money to you (my contact information can be found directly below in the same post). You may not give away or sell your registration however. We will continue to allow those into the event in which were in line next to attend. Please contact me immediately if you fall into this category. I once again apologize and I thank you for understanding.

SOLD OUT!!! I definitely didn't think that it would sell out in 3 damn days!!!

In light of Orange County Horsepower's 1st Year Anniversary and Racer's Edge Tuning's new and improved shop, the two have combined forces to put on one hell of a 1/4 mile drag day event!!!

OCHP & RET's California Speedway Drag Day Event

To Be Determined Due To Rain @ 9:00am-4:00pm


This is open to all domestic cars!!! If it's got muscle, it's more then welcome!!!

There are 50 spots available and the cost will be $105.00 each car to cover the costs of the track rental (Please include the 3% paypal fee of $3.15 for a total of $108.15. Thanks!). You'll be able to get as many passes down the track that your little heart desires for the entire day and we're going to have the most perfect weather right in the heart of winter!

Here's what we would like to do...

If you have run your car before or have enough experience to know what your car should run, please post it up. If you've never been to the strip before and have no idea on what your car will run, post up your modifications and we'll guesstimate it for you. I'd like to make it interesting by setting up races with individuals that are fairly close in ET's! Like a King of the Hill type event, but with Ford's, Chevy's, Dodge's, Pontiac's, and any other type of domestic car that would like to attend!

If you're planning on attending, please post up the following information AND/OR PM it to me just in case I miss it in this thread.

We're going to have a BBQ going throughout the day with a bunch of burgers and hot dogs (all beef) as well as ice chests full of plenty of ice so that people won't have to leave the event to get ice for their cars (that's to say until we run out of ice).

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to post them up, PM me, or call me (that's my cell # above), and I'll do my best with answering all of your questions quickly and accurately.

Once you've already contacted me with the interest of attending and have already registered by posting up your information (listed above), you can paypal events@orangecountyhorsepower.com $105.00 (Please include the 3% paypal fee of $3.15 for a total of $108.15. Thanks!) so that you have your spot reserved. There are only 50 spots and they're going to go quickly!!! This is posted up on multiple domestic car forums (orangecountyhorsepower.com, svtperformance.com, mach1registry.com, socalterminators,com, modularfords.com, svtenthusiast.com, ls1tech.com, ls1.com, ls2.com, lsxforums.com, ls1gto.com, turbobuick.com, corvetteforum.com, zo6vette.com, srtforums.com, viperclub.com, viperforums.net, viperlair.com) so it's going to be on a first come, first serve basis.

Looking forward to seeing you there!!!
