A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE CORDOVA TEAM
We are only days away from the Ignitor Season Opener and I want to try to express how excited and eager we are for the 2024 racing season to begin. The entire team at Cordova is fired up and ready to make this season the best ever.
The anticipation started when we announced the event schedule in December and has not wavered. 2024 is the most jam packed in Cordova’s history. There is literally a show for everyone.
We are also eager to welcome new team members and new racers to the Cordova family. The confidence is high that you will love calling Cordova Dragway your home away from home.
This offseason we worked diligently to improve the park. Nearly every part of the facility was touched. Many of the updates that took the most time and resources will not be seen directly by racers and fans, but the Cordova Experience will be better because of these changes.
Some improvements will not be complete for opening day, but we promise all are worth the wait and you will see the progress every time you pull in the gate.
My family and my team are ready for you all to come back to church
See you at the track
– Danny

CORDOVA COLLEGE – A new concept to help would be racers get into the sport.
If you or someone you know would love to give drag racing a shot, CORDOVA COLLEGE is the perfect way to ease into the sport. Dan Crownhart said, “I have met people who would like to learn how to bracket race, but the process of the staging lanes, water box, and everything between the starting line to picking up their timing slip has them intimidated. We want to eliminate that and welcome new racers to the sport.” See how you can spread the work of these classes on the flyer on our Cordovadragway.com media viewer page.
