The Wine Country Racing Association (WCRA) 2017 drag race season is now in the history books.

Shana Cachola of WCRA said it was a record-breaking season with a high number of drivers for every event. In their September race, they had 106, one more than last year. The final weekend at the Richter Pass Motorplex had 94 drivers putting on a show for a crowd of more than 400.

鈥淭he fan base seems to really get taking off as well. We have our grand stands filled every race,鈥� said Cachola. 鈥淭hat is something that other tracks envy. They just stand, looking at our crowd, in awe.鈥�
