wondering if sea level and possible good air and temps might produce some great e.t.'s and a few 340's?
...... still can't believe anyone east of the missippi would tow a bike to CA to run a 3 round race for 25k.
only a little over 300 entries 10 classes over 3 days. IMO just about right. light fields in STK and SS.

Sonoma is surreal when the cold evening temps start to roll in, with the setting sun in the West, and the whine of impacts in the staging lanes for overdrive pulley changes. The best night racing scene in drag racing.

I agree, was thinking something similar (and posted) back after the Gators, about Sonoma and at that time, Mechanicsville, MD......the weather didn't cooperate for Maryland though.

Matt Smith addressed this on Facebook. Basically he said it's a Denso race, Denso helps all the bikes, and they're paying travel money to the 8 contenders.
