Hello All, and welcome to another year of racing with the Calgary Drag Racing Association!!
In case some of you haven’t heard, Art Mackenzie has signed a 2-year extension with the City of Calgary.
As well, Race City is now officially sanctioned by the AHRA.
This year AHRA will be hosting 3 races here in Calgary.
The first race goes on June 18, 19, and 20th.
This is part of their Reunion tour and continues Race City’s Fathers Day Funny Car Tradition. We are sure some of you remember the heyday of the AHRA!
Come to our next general meeting on April 19th to find out more.
It’s still at the same place, the Laugh Shop at the Blackfoot Inn at 7:30PM.
One of AHRAs stipulations is you HAVE to be a member to race at one of their events.
A big plus if you renew your CDRA Membership before April 30th is you get a free membership with the AHRA, which costs $65.00.
As well, you get reduced racing fees at all CDRA events, a chance for a trophy at the end of the year, ALL that prize money and a nifty sticker for your car too!
The AHRA events will cost $150 for the weekend, $125 if you preregister, and they feature large purses, even money for the juniors.
An added benefit of registering ahead of time is early pit entrance privileges, and likely a better pit area.
Thanks to all of you who have helped out in the past
We are looking for volunteers, for this year.
We need:
Gate/Admission staff
Track prep
Water box
Starting line
Staging, etc.
If you get knocked out early, don’t go home, pitch in and help. Working the water box is the best seat in the house. Just be sure to let a few others in on the fun.
See you all at the meeting!!
Andy Hockin
President CDRA
