If anyone plans to go to Barona on the Saturday of that weekend, you will be in for a real treat. That is the date of the Annual Crower Car Show and Race Event. There will definitely be some bad ass machines at this car show. I've entered past shows that they've held at their shop and they did not disappoint. It was getting too big for their shop parking lot, so now they've moved it to the drag strip to include some track action later in the day.
For hotel information if going to the track, go to the Barona Drag Strip website and click on hotels. Use the Riviera 760 number, not the 800 number, and ask for the special track rate. Parking for car trailers is available at the hotel, and overnight camping at the track Friday night is available too.
Check the track website to double check on this, but I think I heard of a track test and tune on Friday night, before the Saturday car show.
This will be one of the bigger events of the year for the track. Make plans to get there early (Friday) to get a good pit spot, if you're racing.
I will be at Bates, without car, and will be offering a 500 dollar certificate to the raffle to go towards repairs at our shop.
