TOP THE COPSTM
An added bonus to the Wednesday Night Drags is the Top the CopsTM program, which enters its 14th 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 26.
