Guess it didn't pan out. Anyone else remember? I for one would like to see it make its way here. |
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!.. |
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? |
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. |
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? Â
And who the hell knows where Moreno Valley ends and Riverside begins? Â 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
