Why would you pit the Fuel boats so far away from the crowd ? When you know they depend on  T-shirts sales to help them at the races.
Will you allow them to pit somewhere else or do they have to pit way out?

Dale, the levee is none level dirt and dust versus an asphalt parking lot. If it is possible it would be nice to see the entrance area force the fans through that area prior to the levee. However getting in and out of the in/out ramp is another concern. There are a lot of issues I am sure will be address by September’s race and I agree with you the pro pits should include the teams finical interest. This area has great potential for a stadium style physicality just not sure about the surrounding property but excellent location for Southern California to have.

Duane is there room to park enclosed trailers on the levee or do they put us somewhere else. Also any hotel recommendations. Thanks Jeff...

Yes you will be able to park enclosed trailers on the levee.

It looks like it is going to be a 3 day event with test and tune on friday.

By class I'm referring to a NJBA pro class. Lucas will have all of their classes as usual.

Have you been to elsinore? The road out to the levee would not be suitable for the truck and trailers for most of the Fuel boats. The road is very narrow and the turn from the main road is very tight, it is hard enough to get a regular trailer down there. I'm sure will be plenty of time to sell t-shirts.

Duane straightened me up on that fact plus its all dirt. We have a plan now. Just happy to get out again.

im happy about it mow i can see some races again i been going to red bluff since i was a kid moved down here and all they had was the bayfair i wanna see drags not circle boats

theres no show and shine is there

Scott, not sure if you know this already but the fuelers and all other Pro classes are running a 1000' now so they should be okay.. TAH ran a full 1/4 mile last year and I didn't hear of any close calls..  My concern is, I hope there's still water..  I hear that lake tends to empty during the summer months..

Tell me your joking about the 1,000 foot coarse,  WHY?? WHEN??? WHO???

Darold, yes you heard right! The Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series will be at Lake Elsinore in conjunction with the NJBA.

Last year’s NJBA race was packed and one would expect this year to be a full house of spectators and pro class boats.

There is a potential for 7 TFH such as: Toxic Rocket, Problem Child, Speed Sports, Hot Licks, and Spirit of Texas, the return of Whiskey River and Madness, 6 TAH (3 new boats should be out by then), full field of TAF and PM.

Hopefully threading a needle or wate will not be the case!

Thanks Duane
I cant wait, I doubt we will see problem Child back by then, but would love to see Jay out again, you never know about Madness where he will show up, should be an awsome event and it is the weekend after the sand drags at Elsinore....Two weeks in a row for Nitro 10 Min. from my house...I dont think I will sleep much till September, TTYL let me know about that Motorhome spot for the Big Go!!!!

I'd bet on PC being ready by then; and hope Daryl is too!
