So What is Napa Racing Kingman Street Drags V

Napa Racing Kingman Street Drags V is Route 66 Wings and Wheels Inc. biggest fund raiser of the year. Our goal of building a multifaceted motor sports facility is driven by the funds and desires generated by this annual event. No the funds are not so generous as to really pay for the facility but they do keep us moving in a very positive direction and more so the event keeps us fresh in the communities mind and exposes us to new residents who have not had the chance to join our cause.

This year the event will kick off with the set-up on Friday the 19th of September at 7am when an army of volunteers will descend on down town to begin the task of building a full race facility. From k-rail, to fencing, to vendors and then the grandstands. There are the entry gates, port-a-potties and the tents to give us shade. We build the beer gardens and the Hospitality Suite, put in the timing and sound systems all in less then 24 hours. Don't feel left out if you would like to join in on this insanity, you're more then welcome, we will provide you with an event t-shirt, pay your entry fee for the weekend and even feed you for your troubles. Email us at brian@route66wingsandwheels.com or call us at (928) 727-7866 we would love to have you on board.

Now for the participants, Friday afternoon at 5pm, we will begin the process of registration and pitting, that will go till at least 10pm. Then on Saturday morning we will open again at7am, after the 8am mandatory drivers meeting we will get the classes staged and begin the day with open time running. Each time you run your car, the crew will keep track of the quick eight in each class to start the run off later that evening. You are allowed to make as many runs as you can during open running. All we ask is that you only run when we bring your class to the lanes so that we keep similar cars grouped together. We will start with trophy followed by motorcycle, truck, sports compact, pure street, hot rod, pro street and last, unlimited class, and then start back at trophy again.

We will have a couple of breaks in the schedule for some special celebrity races during the day, starting with the one between Bob DeVries the Kingman Police Chief and Tom Sheahan the County Sheriff, they will run a best two out of three over the weekend. Then the crowd favorite ‘Burn Out’ contest will run its first round on Saturday with round two and the finals on Sunday. Anyone may enter; all details will be in the drivers goodie bags. This would probably be a good time to point out that the drivers goodie bags are each participants best source for event info. You will get a schedule and a map and many useful items in the bags. Many sponsors and volunteers have gone to great trouble to create these and all drivers should take the time to check them out.

Saturday’s time schedule will be from 10am when we start open running to track lock down at 10pm. We will begin again Sunday morning with racing at approximately 11am with the second round of eliminations for the quick eight and the second round of the burn out contest, followed by open running again. Drivers should not despair if they don't make the quick eight in there respective classes as we will continue to run everyone during open running until the finals begin at approximately 2 pm. Sundays times are all approximate since we are trying to work out the exact schedule with two churches who have services on Sunday and we would not want to conflict with them by making too much noise.

We have a tool box raffle again this year sponsored by our fantastic "Snap On" dealers of the tri-state area. But there is a slight twist this year. They have supplied us with "two" tool boxes valued at over $4000 each for this year. We will raffle one box off each day and this year you need not be present to win although it would be more fun, its not required. The first tool box will be raffled at about 8pm on Saturday night and the second tool box will be raffled at 2pm on Sunday. For more info on tickets contact your local "Snap On" dealer or you can purchase tickets around Kingman at many of the event sponsors, such as Napa Auto Parts, Cliff Findlay Chevrolet or Martin Swanty Hyundai.

This year we will again supply beer gardens for our guests. You must be 21 to be in the beer gardens, be prepared to show I.D. Remember to drink responsibly, don’t drink and drive. We have the added attraction of sponsors of each of our beer gardens this year. Make sure to check those out and see what kind of special fun they are bringing.

We have added a Hospitality Suite to this year’s event. This was designed as a special way to show appreciation for the major sponsors of the community who spend the lion’s share of money to fund the event. Sponsors received tickets to the Hospitality Suite as part of their sponsorship packages. They can use these to entertain private guests in an area that has catered food and beverages and a premier viewing location at the start line. Tickets are available for anyone who wishes to use the Hospitality Suite they may be purchased for $50 at the gate.

This year the cost for racers is $25 for one day or $35 for the weekend. Race crew is $6 per day or $10 for the weekend. Spectators are $5 per day or $8 for the weekend and there are bulk ticket packages available for anyone who may want one.

We have many special programs organized for the weekend too. We have a "Big Wheel" celebrity race that will be on Saturday between "Mary Doherty" and "Brian Winters" followed by an open time for spectators’ children to participate in the big wheel racing. All children must be with a parent or guardian who has signed an event waiver for the event and has signed up in advance, there are limited spots available.
We will also be treated to a performance by the "Miss Wings and Wheels" pageant contestants and the dancers from the Allstars Dance Academy and the Danceability dancers. We will have a brand new attraction this year with a "Kids Fun Zone" designed for the children between the ages of 3 and 12,it will have games and entertainment, all of it is free and available both days.

This year’s event promises to have something for everyone and more then there has ever been before. So make plans for September 20th and 21st and be part of
"Kingman’s Premier Event" at the "Napa Racing Kingman Street Drags V".
