I wonder how many G's they experience in those sharp turns? Posted by: gigamurph on Dec. 09 2009,11:05 pm A few years back, on HotBoat I believe, there was some guy feelin' everyone out about how they felt about this stuff and if they thought it would "fly" here in SoCal. Guess it didn't pan out. Anyone else remember? I for one would like to see it make its way here.

Guess it didn't pan out. Anyone else remember? I for one would like to see it make its way here. -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- It would go over big time here, the problem is to find a place to put a track in, it's "racing" remember not golf, this guy was ready to start it up but couldn't find a place that would allow it, between noise and all the red tape and bull$hit fees, it just puts out of reach unless you're a millionaire!. The sad part is you don't need much space and it's very easy to build! It does look like a blast, wouldn't mind giving it a shot myself!.. -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Now all that "red tape," BS doesn't surprise one little bit here in CA. Too bad. I think the old Skiland site here by WD and me would be a good spot for an all around complex. Only problem is that they keep building more f*ckin' housing than they can sell. Would be aced out like RIR was for the MV Mall years ago. Don't remember much about Firebird. Couldn't they incorporate something out there w/o alot of expenditure for land? -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Actually where all RIR was, is all housing, apartments, and condos. MV Mall is West of where the track was. MV screwed that up so bad that the MV Mall isn't even in MV. It's in Riverside. I still think Ski Land would be perfect. -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Not that it makes a difference, but I beg to differ on the RIR thing. I spent at least 6-10 nights a year on Day Street asleep in the car waiting to enter RIR. And if memory serves me correctly (and it doesn't often but doesn't have to here 'cause I'm there at the med. clinic on avg. of twice a week), Day Street is west of the old RIR site. RIR Gate #1 (west gate) ran right next to the cement batch plant, which is still there, the north bleachers were right next to teh 60, and Turn 9 was just inside the corner of Day and Eucalyptus Streets. Tell me I'm right or was I goin' to the wrong place all those years?   And who the hell knows where Moreno Valley ends and Riverside begins?  And what the hell evber happened to Sunnymad? Shows it on Google maps but I'll be damned if I can get there from here.:confused -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Your right, that's the same entrance I used. Sunnymead became Moreno Valley 23 years ago. -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- So you're the guy that would keep everyone awake all night w/your loud music and carryin'-ons! Oh wait; that was me. Nevermind..... Seriously; I wonder if we've ever met? I was kind of an out-goin', quipster-type jacka$$ back then. Nothin' like the withdrawn, quiet little self I am today. And after all those years, Sunnymead still lives. Pull up Moreno Valley on Google Maps sometime. -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Of course Sunnymead lifes on. My shop is even on Sunnymead Blvd. Most of the area's that Moreno Valley that weren't developed before MV became MV were retained by Riverside county and are still called Sunnymead  Big area that stands out is the Sunnymead Ranch area. Things change fast out here. If we met I was taking money from you. Spent some time taking the parking money at that gate before I got moved inside.

Fireturd is out that's Indian land and they're taking it back when the lease is up, they built a Casino next to it and from what I hear they want to put some resort Hotel there!. -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Jesus  they have the 5 star Sheraton about 5 minutes South of the track and its empty most of the time. Why do they need another. So are Bondurant and the Drag Strip doomed also Posted by: WATERDOG on Dec. 11 2009,1:21 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Now all that "red tape," BS doesn't surprise one little bit here in CA.

What about afterwards. Tax write off.

But maybe there have been negotiations to keep it, one can only hope, would be a shame to see it go away, seen to many of them go away!.. Just saw the Lucas Oil series schedule and Firebird is on the list for the Spring Nationals and the finals for 2010... Don't know when the lease is up though!.. end
