The popular Wednesday Night Drags program will kick off its 21st consecutive year at Infineon Raceway on March 4, 2009. The raceway will open its gates most every Wednesday night from March 4-Nov. 11 for fans who would like to race down the world-famous quarter-mile drag strip.

Three-hundred cars are allowed to compete each Wednesday night. The weekly event attracts an average of 900-1,200 people (competitors and spectators).
TOP THE COPSTM
An added bonus to the Wednesday Night Drags is the Top the CopsTM program, which enters its 15th season in 2009. Top the Cops allows high school students the rare chance to drag race against Bay Area law enforcement officers on Infineon Raceway's quarter-mile drag strip. Both are given practice runs, leading up to a final-round showdown between the student and an officer who competes in his/her squad car and in full uniform. The Top the Cops program runs from April 1 - August 5.
