Cool part is you can crap in the yard and save money on the sewage bill.

I don't think I'll be going there any time soon or ever.

I'd rather drag my boat to marine stadium (325 miles), and go to Catalina. (26 miles)

That should be a socal event. :thumbup:

Was it a cesspool then? or a decent venue?
How long was the track?
