My understanding is that another date has been set for May 19 and could possibly open quarterly.

Glad to see northern California is alive and well again. I guess Infinion Raceway is your closest drag strip? Judging by the pictures there was no problem getting thousands back again. Even the aerial shoot shows not many houses around to complain. Beautiful country.

It looks to me like someone has a half mile dirt track down there. Most likely a horse track, my Dad had a ranch that had a track like that and growing up we would run our motorcycles around it all day until a crash or Pops kicked us off it. Time to muck out the stalls again.

That's cool to see the old girl alive again.

Strange timing; my wife and I drove out to our old Strip yesterday afternoon to take a look. Kinda sad to see nothing but the asphalt ribbon left. Still, it brings back a ton of great memories.
