[Fot] Eagle Canyon Raceway.

[Joe Alexander]

My kind of track and my kind of people. 

Kas Kastner feels the same way, too, which is most important.

Kastner Cup Organizer. (Retired)

It was a great 18 years.....thank you everyone.

> As your Race Chairman at the recent CVAR event there and still FoT member I think Eagles Canyon Raceway would be an exceptional destination for the Kastner Cup. FYI.. the track changed hands about 4-5 years ago with Livio and Paula Galanti buying the whole tract. As a guy an hour away, the first year or so if there wasn't engineering going on every time I went out there there wasn't one. Has to be a french drain now every 20' easy. As Livio said, we've had 4000 years of water flowing through here. AND, it was not a re-surface. He dug the whole thing up. You now have a base to the top a 36" structure. When the pavers started to pave, they didn't stop. The surface is perfect, there is just no other words for it. If I can help. Livio and Paula are my friends and I'm a member at the track as well. With Race Chairman experience (including our last Kastener Cup there) I'd be honored to help... Livio Galanti had GUESS watches in his company but now has SHINOLA...look them up.... GREAT product.

Most times I managed to turn them off instead of on sitting in the driver's seat. I do have a backwards facing video for the final race on Sunday.  I will put that together as well.
