If you couldn't tell from the size of the Fosters beer can - this is a HO track.

Here's a video with some action:



This track was featured in Model Car Racing Magazine issue #10 when owned by Greg Katz. Sadly, we lost Greg to a brain tumor, but as long as racers continue to enjoy racing on his circuit, then he will be remembered.
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

Wow, that is a work of art... and looks like a real challenge to drive.

Where is the track located?

Hey, I resemble that remark! :laugh2:

Yeah, more than a day's drive so probably out of the question, unless I'm already in the area for another reason. But it makes me want to go see the HO tracks up at Modelville even more now... beautiful work!

All righty then. But still possible if desired.

Awesome place to race. I had the pleasure of racing on this track last month.

It's certainly a destination you would want to make if you're ever in the San Diego, CA, area.
