I used to take my various daily drivers here quite often years ago and since the late 80’s, for their Wed Night Fun Drags.

They’re supposed to be closing for good this year - not positive if by the end of October or end of their posted online schedule in Nov.

After not having taken anything out there to race since my pre-owned and quite worn AWD ‘98 Subaru Forester around 15 years ago, I plan to take my ‘23 Tremor this coming Wed Oct 25th for the first time in order to get at least a couple of baseline 1/4 mi timeslips before the strip closes, and prior to any possible future performance mods (once they hopefully begin to obtain CARB exemptions…).

The next closest raceway is the former Sears Point (whatever it’s now called…?) in Sonoma CA - Much less convenient for me. If all goes as planned, I’ll post an update as well as timeslip results.

If any other Norcal Mav owners are close enough, feel free to join me at the raceway this Wed. (Be sure to double check that the race dates are still active by calling one of the ph#’s on their website prior, just in case of weather or other unforeseen factors).

I saw they were closing. Used to go to Baylands in Fremont, Fremont drag strip. Lots of good memories there. Closed years ago. Some of the best sea level dense air anywhere!

I go to the Bugorama VW car show and drag races every year on Memorial Day and Labor Day. The swap meets there were epic. Really going to miss that venue. 😞😞

I used to go to those also back in the 80’s when I had my daily driver ‘64 bug, before I got rid of that when I bought my first new car - an ‘89 5.0L Mustang LX hatchback, which I then raced there on Wednesday nights.

Oct 25th got rained out - returned the following Wed night.

I was hoping my Tremor would turn high 14’s, but I’m thinking the slightly higher lift, Advanced AWD, and all-terrain tires slow it down a bit over non-Tremor Mavericks…

Ultimately my goal was to simply establish baseline runs so that any future performance mods can be compared to.
