Has anyone heard about this before???

Copied from Dragracingonline



The Agent has now confirmed that plans for a new multi-use motorsports facility and drag strip near central California’s Santa Maria Valley have just about cleared all of the necessary governmental approvals. With county board of supervisors hurdles cleared, the plot of land has been acquired and may begin grading in the next sixty to ninety days. Santa Maria has a rich drag racing history, having held races dating back to the early 1950’s on what is now Foster Road and on a portion of the municipal airport grounds. [07/10/18]

Hasn't this been kicking around for 10 or 12 years? By all means, I hope it happens, but until I see/hear cars actually going down the track, I'm going to be a bit skeptical.

This would be great, but I'm not holding my breath....

Does Atwater come to mind??

Sounds like the one at Thorneburg VA. Only thing built was a circle track

Hey Fern in believe there is a circle track in that area fighting to get a car count now.

I'm don't know anything more about all this, I saw the post and wanted to pass it on is all....

Been hearing about this track being built for a good 10 years now.

A few more years of promises and planning,
it could be Banning.

what is the newest track opened in california?

Vic, there is no name for the track as the article in Drag Racing Online said just plans ! Hahaha and most CAL guys have said they have been hearing that for years. Don’t blame the messager I just saw the article and posted it here. I have no dog in this fight.....

Who let the dogs out?

Moe only a few more minutes remain birthday boy, is the best you can do right now. I figured you would be three sheets to the wind .....

no blaming here Nick was just wondering is it Fontucky? Barona? and what year

You just never know. For years people have been trying to open new gun ranges in New Jersey. We have to be about one of the WORSE gun-friendly states in the country. Well, after hearing for years about this guy trying here, that guy trying there, IT HAPPENED! We actually had several new ranges open in the last few years. Really unbelievable! For those of you that live here, you understand. For those that don't, unless you live in CA or NY, you have no idea what we go through to buy/own/shoot a gun, even a .22!

Maybe, just maybe CA can get a new track. How many did they lose over the years from suburban sprawl? Up to 20?

We here in California have lost to development:
OCIR
LIONS
IRWINDALE
CARLSBAD
RIVERSIDE
SACRAMENTO IS HANGING ON FOR NOW BUT

I just bought another gun here in California, I simply had to fill out paperwork, pass a gun owners test and wait a few weeks? Easier than getting a contractors license or a building permit!

Hand gun or long gun? Long guns here are simple. Hand guns, shyt, that's a whole nother story!

I almost moved to CA a long time ago. Was going to be close to Sacramento. When I learned of all the rules (CCR) there I said forget about it. If I want to park my car trailer in my driveway I will. If my neighbor wants to park his RV in his driveway he can. I actually did my homework BEFORE I went. Not going to move somewhere and then fight to get the rules changed to fit me. Wish others would do the same thing.

. LOL.....IT always depends on your age. I could name 6 more right in the Visalia/ Fresno area of Central Calif. I now pretty much have to tow 500 miles(round trip) to race.
