WHAT
The popular Wednesday Night Drags program will kick off its 27th consecutive year at Sonoma Raceway on March 18, 2015. The raceway will open its gates most every Wednesday night from March 18 -Nov. 18 for fans who would like to race down the world-famous quarter-mile drag strip.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of the program is to give people, from teenagers to working professionals, a safe, legal and controlled environment in which to race their vehicles, as opposed to using city streets or back-county roads.

WHEN
Most Wednesday nights through Nov. 18th. Gates open at 3:30 p.m., racing spans from 4 p.m.-10 p.m.

WHERE
Highways 37 and 121, Sonoma, Calif., 95476.

WHO
Anyone with a driver’s license can compete, providing their vehicle or motorcycle passes a simple technical inspection. All vehicles must have mufflers. To see the rules and regulations for Wednesday Night Drags, please click here. The event attracts a varied crowd, including teen-agers, mothers, working professionals and grandparents racing everything from Corvettes to Mini-Vans. Three-hundred cars are allowed to compete each Wednesday night. The weekly event attracts an average of 900-1,200 people (competitors and spectators).

TOP THE COPSTM
An added bonus to the Wednesday Night Drags is the Top the CopsTM program, which enters its 21st season in 2015.

Top the Cops allows high school students the rare chance to drag race against Bay Area law enforcement officers on the quarter-mile drag strip. Both are given practice runs, leading up to a final-round showdown between the student and an officer who competes in his/her squad car and in full uniform. The Top the Cops program runs from April 1 through August 5.

Participating law enforcement agencies include:

California Highway Patrol
Fairfield Police Department
Fremont Police Department
Napa Police Department
Novato Police Department
Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department
Sonoma Police Department
Windsor Police Department

COST
$25 competitors, $15 for students with their high school identification card, $10 spectators.
