If you like any kind of motorsports and havent done this yet you should because its a blast. My wife signed me and 2 buddies up yesterday and we had a geat time. 70mph down the front stretch is pretty fast when you are only 1'' off the ground. Im actually sore today and it would porbably be worse if I didnt have on the rib support. Bring your own helmet because you know how rentals are. From what I understand they are closing in about 2 months because they sold the land to a developer for new homes.
Ive also done the indoor carts but this is way better.

I couldn't agree more... that is probably my favorite track. It's especially fun in 125 shifter, except when your buddy punts you at the end of the long straight going into the right hander :rolleyes: , actually that's kinda fun too.

its off of the 60 and I think its Beuamont Blvd on the right side. Its real close to the freeway but just out of view because of a small hill.
I could only imagine the shifter carts.

It's just to bad the track will be closed in Aug. Rocky Jr, and Sr have accepted an offer on the land that they could not refuse. Its a real bummer, considering the track was one of the premier tracks in North America.
If any of you are looking to get into the sport, send me a PM.

It was an awesome track for sure, I was the first person to break into the 1:02's out there, back in 2004 at a SKUSA race. Definitely the nicest, funnest track I ever drove, out of 20+ different tracks I've been on.
