I hope everyone is ready to get back out there and racing, because the 2008 Season is here. WCPG will have races scheduled at Sacramento Raceway and Infineon Raceway this year. The complete dates can be viewed at the schedule page.

This season there have been some rule changes that could affect your car. It is the racers responsibility to read and understand the new and revised rules. If you are in doubt call Monti or Cloy to confirm. Some track “NHRA” rules may also apply to Pro Gas.  In 2008 the Blue Light will be activated during Qualifying and eliminations “no deep staging”. Pro Gas D will use a .500 pro tree, all other classes will stay with the .400 pro tree.  WCPGA will retain 15% of all entry fees; the balance will be paid back to the racers along with sponsor payouts and or track payouts. Payout details will be announced when finalized.

I would like to thank all the fellow racers for participating in this weekend’s race. Welcome back to all the returning members and we are glad to have the new member’s that joined this weekend. There were a couple of speed bumps, but overall the race went very well.

I would like to thank the following class sponsors for their support in 2008:
