Join the Super 4's. Small club but very active. Contact Roy Creel about joining. His contact info is in your rule book.
You do have a rule book, right? :cheers:

You could also consider the Rod Riders. They have some very fast GMC powered racers. And a couple of Bay Area members that I know of.

Nope...... they just don't want you.

Try the Land Speed Racers. They already have a team in Orangevale, and a couple in Chico too.   8-)

I agree with Michael. I just became a member of Land Speed Racers and they made me feel welcome in joining. I was previously a member of the Gear Grinders, but they have a by-law that states all new members are required to volunteer for 20 hours of additional service on top of patrol duty.

And if you like your October experience, I can help you experience it again in November, a two day race weekend.
I'll even buy you a beer!
