Founded by Pontiac enthusiasts in Southern California, Pontiac Drag Days operates an eight (8) race series at Los Angeles County Raceway (Southern California). Competitors are local hobbyists, many members of Southern California GTOAA and POCI Chapters. All are regularly joined by such legends of the Pontiac drag racing scene as Jim Wangers, Pete McCarthy, Jerry "The Judge" Young, and Ken Crocie. Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick has even made a couple of appearances at Pontiac Drag Days.
Pontiac Drag Days was launched to offer local Pontiac hobbyists the opportunity to display their lust for excitement; Pontiac Excitement. Pontiac Drag Days strives to provide a venue focused on fun and sharing in one another's excitement for our moniker. Beyond our regularly schedule bracket series, our Tour de Wangers event has grown into one of Southern California's largest Pontiac family fun events. This "show & shine" open house at Jim Wangers automotive warehouse has drawn hundreds of Pontiyakers of all ages.
Pontiac Enthusiast Magazine columnists, Stan Rarden, in his Sep/Oct '99 column, compared the founding and success of Pontiac Drag Days to that of the NHRA and NASCAR. A comparison we are much honored to receive.
