Madras Drag Racing: Celebrations, Updates, and a Peek into 2024

by | Sep 4, 2024

Welcome to the adrenaline-pumping world of the Madras Dragstrip, where speed enthusiasts and community members come together to celebrate the spirit of racing. Recently, the dragstrip has been abuzz with activities, from nail-biting races to heartfelt congratulations for our deserving winners. Among the highlights was an announcement for racers who’ve made it to the finals, encouraging them to secure their event tickets through the Pacific raceway website. With team spirit running high, our next major event, the Nostalgia weekend, is set for September 6th to 8th, promising even more excitement.

In addition to the thrill on the track, there have been important updates for participants, notably regarding pit space reservations. To ensure fairness and convenience, pit spaces will be reserved solely for point races, moving to a first-come, first-serve basis during larger events. This change underscores the importance of early arrival for those eager to secure their preferred spots. Moreover, in light of maintaining the highest standards of safety, the EV class will not be featured this year. This decision, made with the well-being of participants and spectators in mind, has been met with understanding and support from the community. Lastly, the year-end banquet has been scheduled for October 26th at the Madras Elks Lodge, marking a time for celebration and reflection.

Looking ahead, the Madras Dragstrip is excited to unveil its 2024 schedule, filled with events that promise to bring more speed, excitement, and community gatherings. In an effort to keep this tradition thriving, we’re reaching out to passionate individuals interested in joining our team. By downloading an application from our website and shooting us an email, you might just find yourself part of the thrilling world of drag racing. Plus, for those seeking a moment of peace amidst the roaring engines, our chapel services offer a tranquil space for reflection. Every Sunday morning at 8:00 am, we gather in the bleachers for a non-denominational service open to all, ensuring that our community’s spiritual needs are met as well.

None of these exhilarating events and community gatherings would be possible without the unwavering support of our local sponsors. Their contribution not only fuels the high-octane races but also strengthens the bond within our community. As we look forward to another thrilling year at Madras Dragstrip, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors and every member of our community. Your enthusiasm, participation, and support make Madras Dragstrip more than just a racing venue; it’s a place where memories are made, and dreams ignite. Here’s to the celebration of speed, the spirit of competition, and the anticipation of what 2024 will bring to the Madras Dragstrip!
