Drag racing fans can join NHRA Funny Car legends Don “The Snake” Prudhomme and Ed “The Ace” McCulloch at a special pre-race Starting Line Party at the Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals later this month.
Sonoma Raceway joins NHRA in celebrating 50 years of Funny Car racing during the series’ annual visit to Wine Country, July 29-31, and has put together this special event to get fans close to these racing veterans.
The legendary racers will be featured as part of the Starting Line Party ticket package, which includes a reserved seat in the Main Grandstand and access to a special Q&A with Prudhomme and McCulloch prior to eliminations on Sunday, July 31. The Q&A will be followed by the Sealmaster Track Walk down the drag strip. The package also includes a Thunder Alley pass, the closest access to the strip for race fans.
The Starting Line Party ticket package runs from $80-$85, depending on seat location, or just $20 as an upgrade to your reserved-seat purchase.
These elements and many more round out a jam-packed weekend of racing at the Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals. This marks the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series’ only stop in Northern California, and the only chance to witness 10,000-horsepower dragsters rocketing down the drag strip.
