I had a ball all by myself at LVMS last year. I plan on going back this july. I think the problem is that there are not enough west coast events at decent tracks. i have personally this year lost the enthusiam for going to the track until my car is ready. I have been to most events in so cal ocver the past 3 years. I really enjoy myself most of the time. i think its just time for a regional series like the Lucas Oil series. IDRC are you listening?????????

You can't beat Englishtown in mid-June early-July for attendence. The East Coast is where it's at right now, so someone has to suffer, right?

I was under the impression that the Cali tracks were somewhat shitty to race on (i.e prepped and maintained), is this true?

Dude, i was in Fontana, and i was at Etown/Atco, etc

Fontana looked like an empty parking lot (no pun intended, lol) compared to etown (15k+ people)

If you have nothing to offer then this thread goes no where. Instead of making a post like this share how you think it could be "fun" again.
