Can you imagine the HP it would take to push that VW thru the air at 120mph? Good fun movie tho....

And try it we will!
When my carpal tunnel was bad, i couldnt drive an hour and hands would be numb. 6 years as a gov’t mechanic it cured itself. Very little work with air tools. Now at home, i control the pace, its still not coming back. But the joints ache now.8 hours is about all I want to tolerate anymore. 5-6 is ok. Used to drive 12-15 as a limit...but those days are gone.
It’s not that I can’t...it’s more that I don’t want to, and have no reason push that hard anymore.
Probably has something to do with being able to afford a nice bed in a hotel when I want one.
56 this year, its bound to happen.
Thats cool!

Or at Barona, the 1/4 mile out by Escondido. Haven't seen that track either.
The sprints on the half mile at Perris should be quite a show.
Barona is popular...Banked dirt...Or at Barona, the 1/4 mile out by Escondido. Haven't seen that track either.

I think the track that really got me hooked on dirt ovals was Speedway 117 out east of Chula Vista by Brown Field. I saw an open comp Late Model show out there. Big wings, Big side boards, 14" tires. The Late Model wings were leaving little vapor trails behind them I was hooked.
I was hooked.

My SIL lives by Brown field, didn't know there was a track out there, just the airfield.

I think it closed in the late 80s. You know San Diego County any ground that's not a vertical slope, build something on it and double the going sale price for it.

They bought a house east of I-5 near San Ysidro but I think it's Chula Vista. Anyway, it was a corner lot and their equity started soaring immediately. I used to ride the train down there when I was stationed at 32nd st. (Geographic bachelor).

I was down there in '78 doing a flood control job in the Tijuana River. Quite an interesting experience for a 21 yr old apprentice
Past my bedtime, gotta get, have a Great Evening All!

Crappy weather here. Cold mist all day. At least its well above freezing, but almost no visibility at times for the ride home tonight. At one point I can usually see a gas station just after the crest of a hill. I mean this place is big and well lit. Couldn't see it till I was near on top of it.
