Wednesday night racing will be starting up for the 2021 season at Sonoma raceway on March 17th.

Much relief. :)
I heard from a VERY credible source there was serious talk of discontinuing Drags and drifts on Wednesday night.

That would suck big time. They did eliminate all the weekend drags except for NHRA. You would think they would want a place to keep people off the streets...

What was (is?) motivating them to discontinue it?

From what I understand the demand ($$$) for the road course is pushing the drag racers out.

This.
The corporate office (in Charlotte) claims it's not profitable and sees no value in it.
Warning: The abrupt retirement of Steve Page is telling and will leave unfortunate ripples in the water. Just ask the AFM.

Well, that's a crock of shit.

I have you to thank for introducing me to drag racing... I used to think it was easy until I went out and tried it!

I've been debating to build a bike or a car (I started watching that clown cleetus and also moore mafia on youtube) to get my kid into it too.

I guess I better show up some more this year before it's another usta-could in the Bay Area.

Not sure if it still stands but it used to be you had to have a Wednesday night type program in order to get NHRA national events. Hope this still stands.
