Got Bitten Again

I have no idea what I'm going to put it in, but it will more than likely be a weekend cruiser, with occasional runs down to Carlsbad.

Ventura Raceway is a 1/5th mile clay/dirt oval. They run Pony stocks, VRA modifieds, IMCA modifieds, VRA sprints, SCRA sprints, flat track and speedway motorcycles, etc.

Borla, ARP, Vortech, Wilwood, JAZ, and Paxton are all headquartered within a few miles of me, and are my neighbors. It has been frequently discussed about how we have so many performance parts manufacturers here, and not a single 1/4 mile track. Borla bought the corn fields across the street from them and wanted to build an NHRA certified drag strip, and everyone else was going to contribute. This could be used for product testing, street racers, and they had a guarantee of at least one NHRA event a year. It was days away from breaking ground when the city of Oxnard pulled their permits. This was 3 years ago, and it hasn't changed.

The closest track is probably LACR in Palmdale, but most of the guys around here like the 3 hour drive down to Carlsbad.

I love my Ventura Raceway, but we do need a 1/4 mile track, too.

Take care,
~Chris
