Although both traks are having a "street legal drag day" tonight according to their websites. I would consider going to Fontana if others were going
Im just not a fan of the whole 1/8 mile meaning anyting than how good you are at launching. I could care less if there is a car that can blow away anyone in the 1/8 but then turns in a less than steller 1/4 time... in the real world that car would get killed

Anybody who street races from a dig more than an 1/8th mile should be publicly beaten. I'm screaming past 90mph at the 1/8th. You gonna do that coming off an intersection?
In fact an 1/8th mile is more of a drivers race, where actual skill matters, past the 1/8th it's just a cock measuring contest for power/weight/aero.
Anyway, Irwindale is run about 10 times better than Fontana, with far better drag cars on an average Thursday night. It's very well prepped and lower altitude than Fontana. Plus they have a Taco truck which really takes it over the top.
Average day at the Fontana street legals will be 4 runs in 8 hours (plus being there a couple hours earlier. Average TNT Thursday at Irwindale is 10+ runs in 4 hours total. Plus they have king of the hill if you think you're hot shit.
