“The idea has been years in the making, and we are thrilled to receive support from the State of California and the Riverside County Sheriff to bring our vision to life. WDRA’s recognition and sanctioning of our track are invaluable, providing guidance in running our race events successfully,” commented Marocco.
The rules currently prohibit race cars or purpose-built dragsters from participating. All vehicles (cars and motorcycles) must be registered and insured, equipped with DOT radial tires and a working muffler, and driven onto the strip under their own steam. Currently, there’s no space for trailers, and they’re also not allowed in the pit lane.
Of course, all drivers must have a valid driver’s license, and all vehicles must “be in a safe working order.” While this sounds restrictive, Street Legal Dragway is trying to create a safe and fun environment for everyday Joes.
