Books and Information for racers
Accounts from races that Bob has attended.
We attended the July 7th race with about 30 winged FI sprint cars and several other carburetor fed racers and late models all competing in front of a couple thousand spectators; thanks to Dani Noceti and staff for a great evening; many couples and families with children all enjoying the competition; very safe and clean […]
Dani Noceti & staff at Stockton 99 speedway did another great job organizing this event. All of these racecars on pavement are fast. The turn-around of the various classes was very quick. The racer participants kept their cars reliable with few show interruptions. I was impressed with all of the fuel injection cars storming out […]
We will be at The Sacramento Autorama Feb 16-18, 2018. Email us at bob@racecarbook.com if you are attending. We’ll look you up and take pictures. This event is tops for Sacramento area hot rodders. A host of MFI and EFI powered hot rods and performance boats are featured. We will be studying them and again […]
Happy Holidays from all of us at RaceCarBook.com! We hope you’re 2017 was great with even greater things to come in the new year.
Announcing the World of Outlaws at Calistoga Speedway, Calistoga, California, Sept 15-16. We are seeing big rigs all around the area transporting Sprint Cars and converging onto this location for top dirt track circle racing.
We enjoyed this event very much. In addition to hundreds of racecars that included many prostreet cars, blown alcohol, turbocharged, and nitro powered racecars, the event featured a P51 fighter plane flyover and a 250 MPH jet dragster. The staff at the Kingdon event also supplied plenty of shaded seating covered by tents, all real […]
This was again a great event, hosted by the Rio Linda Historical Society. Many top show cars as well as custom hot rods that frequent the streets of Sacramento and central California were highlights. The Dry Creek Ranchhouse was the location surrounded by a pleasant rural farm atmosphere with special provisions for the swap meet […]
The Sacramento Team Boddie event that was organized by Jermaine, Kenya, and all the Boddie staff, Fri. & Sat. Aug. 25-26, was a hit. Probably well over 10,000 racers and spectators. Eighth mile hot rods were quick. A lot of competition between the mechanical injection, EFI, and carb NOS setups. All the folks were polite […]
The Good-Guys Pleasanton Car show was a hit. The collections of custom hot rods was second to none. The creativity in custom paint, interiors, and engines is marvelous. The older hot rods brought back memories of our youth. A 65 Chevy that was on display brought back memories of my old hot rod of the […]
The Placerville outlaw sprint car event was a hit. Thousands of people sat all around the track to watch the closest racing ever. A lot of photo closeups were taken of $50K fuel injection engines in the 410 and midget classes. Men & women drivers from all over were putting on very fast competition. The […]
