Sunday at Auto Club Famoso Raceway
Judged Car Show on-site
Gen 5 Challenge Drag Racing (Additional DOT classes extra)
*Super Chevy Magazine Triathlon Drag Racing
*Keep in mind that the we may not do the Super Chevy Magazine Triathlon this year, if we do... The AutoX and Brake Stop Challenge will take place first-thing on Saturday morning, then the rest of the time will be open time runs for Camaro5 and any other Super Chevy Show cars that want to start the day at Kern County Raceway Park.
The track is paying for the track time, timing and night race tickets at Kern County Raceway Park, lunch for the driver, Poker Run staffing, etc.
Sunday will be for drag racing and the Car Show.
I realize that we are only getting from 9am - 1pm for AutoX. I am not pleased at all about this but it is the most that they can do.
Sorry for not getting the information out sooner. I was trying to get all the details before I posted it.
For those that are still planning on attending, please send me a PM so I can have a head count. Thank you!
