Race fans will meet top stars from the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series and enjoy a night of poker, great food and fun at the 3rd annual Burnout Bash party on Wednesday, July 22, at the legendary Fior d'Italia Restaurant in San Francisco.
Burnout Bash, the official fan kickoff party for the FRAM Autolite NHRA Nationals at Infineon Raceway, July 24-26, will be headlined by a Texas Hold ‘Em Charity Poker Tournament, presented by River Rock Casino.
Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Karen Stoffer and her husband and crew chief, Gary Stoffer, as well as Top Fuel driver Cory McClenathan will take their seats at the poker table, among other NHRA stars. Lamont & Tonelli, the popular morning-show duo from 107.7 FM The Bone, will also try their luck at Texas Hold ‘Em.
River Rock Casino will present a check for $2,500 to Speedway Children's Charities in the name of the player with the most chips after the one-hour tournament. Speedway Children's Charities is the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway, with all proceeds benefiting needy youth groups in Sonoma County.
The night will also feature a wonderful four-course meal at the Fior d'Italia, the oldest Italian-American restaurant in the country, as well as giveaways and a Q&A with the NHRA stars in attendance.
The poker tournament will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Fior (www.fior.com), followed by no-host cocktails at 6:30 p.m. and dinner at 7:30 p.m.
