The Old Kingdon raceway that has been closed since 1978 is reopening for a all day 7am to 7pm car show and drag racing. Full 1/4 mile with all timing devices. Should be great fun ! Only $20 bucks to run all day. So all you Norcal guys lets hook up and have a Team Camaro get together ! For more info contact Randy 209 598 7955 or Joe 209 478 3743.

oct 7th!

I've read about this place but its listed in Lodi. I have a house in Lodi and am not sure where this place is, little help? Out by the airport? Don Garlits tore that place up back in the day.

Yeah...Its right on the edge of stockton/lodi. Its right off i-5 frontage road coming from Thornton road in Stockton.

Very cool, thanks! I'll be lookin' forward to this, if my house doesn't rent by then at least I'll have a cheap place to stay!

Holy Crap,one of my cars was dragraced at that track!! I bought a 68 ChevyII Nova SS 396/375 4spd car about 5 years ago from Stockton CA. that definitly raced there!! Any members going there,would love to get a old vintage race picture of my car!! I will pay $$ to any members that will be going and can find pictures of my car at the race track.My car was Teal blue and the guy drag racing it was Teddy Lagura. Dan

Had a great day today! Weather was perfect and car ran real good for its first time out. Ran the car twice today. First was a black 2004 Z06 405HP. I hooked up quite a bit better than him and put some serious lenths on him through the lights. Probably 8-10. Next was a 2005 SRT-8 Hemi 300C 425HP model. Booth got off pretty good and same outcome for him...at least 10 lenghts! I was pretty stoked. Motor only has maybe 100 miles or so on her.
All in all killer day!

So tell us more,are they gonna do this again? Any old timers with nostalgia pictures from back in the day? Any pictures of cars Drag racing there on Oct 7th? Dan
