The Les Schwab All High School Drags will feature an alumni class for racers who are two years out of high school or 21-years old and younger.
Drivers in the class must show proof of age and will race in a separate division with points that will not count toward a particular high school team.
The high school extravaganza is scheduled for Friday, May 3. Gates open at 1 p.m. with timed runs to follow at 3.
High school racers will be competing for individual and school trophies. Students also can enter a special tire-smoking burnout contest with trophies and prizes.
High school teachers are encouraged to compete and will race in a special teacher class with their points going to the school’s overall point total. High school garage bands wishing to play at the drag event are encouraged to contact the raceway office at 253-639-5927.
Nitro Mike will make passes in his wheel-standing PT Cruiser and exhibition passes are planned in nostalgia front-engine dragsters and other featured cars booked by the track. EF-65 Hand Cleaner will have its NASCAR simulator on-site for a bone-jarring ride in a stock car.
The Les Schwab All High School Drags are presented by Green River Community College, Swift Tool, U.S. Army National Guard, and Bracketstars.
Tech cards for drag racers are $30. Minors will need to bring a signed parent consent form. The forms are available at pacificraceways.com.
Spectator and crew prices are $10 for 13 and older; $5 with an ASB card; and children 12 and younger are free.
