It's actually my favorite track. A really effing long, high speed straight, with plenty of twisties in the infield.

If you run it with the oval it is worth it. The banking is taken at most cars top speed, in my CRX it's around 140. That's my favorite turn I've taken. What does that mean?
The infield alone is kinda lame, but ok. Just watch out for tire barriers.

Whatcha mean, Cal Speedway rocks. The infield is pretty fun with exception to the tire barriers that will eat you up if you hit one. So if you're racing with some clown who always chops going into corners, let him have the tire barrier turns to himself, then pounce on him afterwards.

The key is to hit them really hard so that you go through them. If you drive something slow like an H4 car you should avoid them completely since at low speeds they will swallow you up.
