Wednesday Night Drags

June 28, 2016 - June 29, 2016

$5.00

The Wednesday Night Drags – Street Legal Style program is a chance for anyone with a street-legal car, truck or motorcycle to race on BIR’s world-class drag strip as many times as you want. You get to use the light tree, the burnout box and the scoreboard. We even have an announcer calling the action. Tonight’s program includes autocross as well. Gates open at 4 p.m. Racing starts at 5 p.m. and ends at dusk. Nine Wednesdays are on the schedule this year. $25 for drivers and $5 for spectators.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to race your own car on a championship drag strip, or if you’d like to know how to get into competitive drag racing, here’s your chance. The Wednesday Night Drags – Street Legal Style is the perfect way to either test the waters of competitive drag racing or just have some fun with your buddies.

BIR opens the track to anyone with a helmet (Snell 2005 or newer), a valid drivers license and a street-legal car, truck or motorcycle. The gates open at 4 p.m. You can make as many runs as possible until the track closes at dusk. During that time, you get to use the starting line tree, the scoreboard and the burn-out box, just like the pros do. We even have an announcer calling the action over the PA system.

The Wednesday Night Drags – Street Legal Style was created as a safe alternative to street racing. BIR offers racers a safe, controlled environment to race, where professional track operators and rescue personnel oversee the racing and ensure that the racers are still able to enjoy the thrill and excitement of racing against their buddies. BIR is committed to the highest standards of safety.

 

Fast Cop will have a visible presence again this year on Wednesday nights. It’s an opportunity for young drivers to learn about the dangers of street racing and to connect with law officers who share their passion for drag racing. They’ll be at every event with their 1993 Ford Mustang LX that features a 651 hp 351 CID V8. Some lucky racers this year will be able to line up against the Fast Cop car, with no speed limits in sight.
