Sac raceway is slightly cheaper than Sears Point. I believe it's $7 to get in and an extra $7 to race, although it's been almost two years for me so things could have changed...
Gates open on Wednesday [Feb 14] at 5 or so. That's what they say, though I think they may actually open a little sooner. The earlier the better, as you get more time trial runs in before the bracket racing starts. If you get there at 6 or 6:30 you will only get one time trial in.
Get in the import group if you want to race those guys. If you want to race [mostly] 12 & 13-sec Mustangs and Camaros then they'll put you in the appropriate lane ['Domestic' cars]. There are still plenty of slower cars there, but the imports are much better pickings [usually only 3 or 4 cars below 15.0 -- most are lots of show and no go, and the fastest cars invariably look the most stock].
If/when you get eliminated from bracket racing you can get into the first lane and they do 'fun runs', at least if time permits.
I'm not a big fan of drag racing [not nearly as fun as track racing] but it's definitely worth going once if you've never been, or if you want to see what the car will really do. Plus in this case we'll have a few members out there [I've never met a SHO or Contour SVT owner at the track, so this will be nice]. There are usually a few pretty cool cars like the street-tired, stock-looking, suprisingly-quiet mustang GT that was there last time, running a 12.2 @ 131mph -- *that* is a fast car.
If you don't know where the track is just hit their website [www.sacramentoraceway.com].
Hope to see a good chunk of the Sacramento Contour owners out there.
