Wednesday Night Drags Results, March 8.

More than 160 Northern California drag racers convened on the Sonoma Raceway drag strip, March 16, for the Wednesday Night Drags.

The Wednesday Night Drags program, which is in its 29th year, gives drag racers the opportunity to drag race on Sonoma Raceway's world-famous quarter-mile drag strip. The objective of the program is to give people, from teen-agers to working professionals, a safe, legal and controlled environment in which to race their vehicles, as opposed to using city streets or back-county roads.

Racing is featured in seven classes. Timed runs begin at 4 p.m. with racing spanning from 5-10 p.m. anyone with a driver's license can compete, providing their vehicle or motorcycle passes a simple technical inspection.

Class winner included San Jose's Steve Jaslovsky (Gear Jammer); Novato's Scott Neeley (Motorcycle); Cotati's Mitchell Gately (Comp Rod); Pacheco's Bill Taggart (Sport Street); Novato's Bobby Grabrian (Street); and Santa Rosa's Jorge Barajas (High School).

The Wednesday Night Drags will resume on March 15. For more information, visit www.SonomaRaceway.com/youcanrace or call 800-870-RACE (7223).
