: New 1/4 mile track in my backyard
THORSS70 Dec 15th, 06, 10:38 PM Yup, 20 min from me, the Riverside motorsport parkway is a go :hurray:
It will take about 18 months to open yet, that gives me time to build that 500cid for the Chevelle :beers:

Beaux, you have work to do :cool:
2cool Dec 15th, 06, 10:44 PM I grew up in Pensacola, Fla
I lived about 8 miles maybe 12 from 5 flags speedway and you would hear those cars all day & night long every weekend.
kinzli Dec 15th, 06, 11:29 PM I smell beer brewing, tires frying, and good times around the corner.
Craig, better get your arse in gear ;)
quikss Dec 16th, 06, 12:15 AM Thats cool you will have a track close by. The closest 1/4 mile drag strip to me is a entire 3 minute drive from home. Every time anything goes down the track, we here it here, I love it.

Very, VERY nice. That just rocks.
Yes, plenty of work (check your email, I need an opinion on a DA im looking at) and i am digging in hardcore this next weekend. Stripping should be completed very soon then off comes the body, frame gets torn down and goes out for straightening and sandblasting.
1966_L78 Dec 19th, 06, 3:25 AM Thats cool... except that means you probably won't be coming to Sac for TNT's very much... Suck's for me!
mad hooker Dec 19th, 06, 3:34 AM hey beaux how far will this new track be from you? in turlock? hmm will it be closer than the sacramento track?
Beaux Dec 19th, 06, 1:13 PM hey beaux how far will this new track be from you? in turlock? hmm will it be closer than the sacramento track?
Its about a 30 minute ride, give or take 10. Yes, closer than Sac for sure.
kinzli Dec 19th, 06, 2:31 PM Did they give any indication about when it would be complete? I didn't see it in the article.
cuisinartvette Dec 26th, 06, 2:43 AM About how far is that from the San Fernando Valley?
Any idea on the elevation?
Id love to go run at a new track sometime, helmet is ready!:hurray:
PDFChevelle Dec 27th, 06, 5:09 PM WOW!! You must have a REALLY big house!! That's COOL!!!
There was talk about a new track on Long Island, but haven't heard too much recently.
Anybody?
2cool Dec 27th, 06, 10:00 PM I thought Long Island was only a 1/4 mile long.
Rick Bandy Dec 28th, 06, 10:21 AM Craig, waz up! Great news,that track will be 35 min. from us (pulling a trailer).
18 months will give Anthony time to get his 496 built,he has to pace himself as he now has a Wife and a new baby girl! For Christmas he got some H-Beam Rods and a Scat Crank is on its way I will probably help him with getting his parts as long as I get a few runs in.

That would expain why everytime I fly, when landing,the planes' nose ends up in the water!LOL
I wish it were, my commute would be alot shorter!!
LET'S GO SAINTS!!!
erikbuzz Dec 29th, 06, 1:08 AM Sweet. I am in Modesto. Almost time for a track run.
gotago Dec 29th, 06, 2:40 AM Must be nice!! The nearest track for me is at least a 2hr drive. When I lived in NC, the track was 20 min max and there were at least 2 stations that sold race gas on the way!!
Rick Bandy Jan 18th, 07, 10:17 AM This is not good!
01/17/2007 - The Merced County Farm Bureau is planning to sue Merced County over the Board of Supervisors' approval of a plan to construct the race track.
cuisinartvette Jan 19th, 07, 2:48 AM ..then they will complain about the street racing problem, too. Cant win. :(
