The grass is dead.. The track ran the 1st major race in March of 1969.

There's nothing wrong. He had an A-arm bolt come loose the last time he ran the car at a combo race in Fontana. He kept it off the wall and there was minimal damage. He had the front end aligned and the alignment bolts were a little bit short so they were replacing them with longer ones.

They were also adding some kind of electronics to his car. I can't remember the name of it. I think he said it was a matty ... a matty something they were installing.

Not much chance of crashing into a tree around there! Any sign of Rory McNeil? He was talking about going. Thanks for the pics and updates btw.. Almost as good as being there but a lot cheaper. Good luck to all and race safe.

Yes, I just got done talking to Rory. He was changing front tires and getting ready to lay down a lap in class tomorrow.

Toby -- Sure hope your luck changes today - ask Meaner if he needs me to come out there and wire-up that Matty deal for him ...............

Jack,they say that getting there is half the fun.You got to stay in some nice places. I think Grants Pass is great.I could live there very easily. Some of my friends I went to high school with 40 years ago have lived there 30 or so years now, I probably will see them next month when we're up there for a school reunion. It probably was very wise not to attempt the trip to Redding that late in the day after a delay. Have a great race!!

Rain in California in the summer months is extremely rare. But in the winter it's nice and green.....:-)
