Our first event is always in Jan!

Comment overheard years ago by an L.A.area autox-er right
after we started running at Quallcomm; "My GOD. I'll have to
install my long range gas tank to make it all the way around!"
We occasionally have courses with a 90+ sec TTD, with stock
cars in the 110's. And those aren't "Mickey Mouse" courses
either. 40-75mph with lots of third gear and occasionally
4th depending on gearing.

We could put on the Nationals here.
>Doesn't have a concrete site?
All asphalt. Built in the 60's with road racing use in mind.
>Finishes the Season in late October?
Actually, we have events in Dec every year.
I think it's only 75 degrees out at the moment,
not 80. Next event this weekend. Two days. Practice
on Sat. Main event on Sun. Looking for 200 cars.
Goodbye now from paradise....
