Which way will it be run?
It will run right to left looking from the drivers panel.

I see the beginnings of some serious series racing... SoCal now has a triple threat.
That's right. You know the routine, pick you up at Comcast after work, drive to Gorman and sleep, get the stuff at McDonalds, and we head straight for Yorba Linda.
When's the first race, we'll be there in a minute...

Jason,
This track has never held a Nats. This was originally built by Mike Williams of Hot Slots in Iowa. It would have hosted the 2012 Nats (I think) if he didn't go out of business. From what I've heard its basically brand new, no wear and tear.
The LTD track that was raced on at JK was in Torrance but then I heard it is headed to San Antonio with a Hillclimb.

Interesting (to me at least) that the driver's panel as shown in the first pic offers a poor line of sight for both red and black in the critical areas for each of those two lanes. Reversing the lane layout on the panel would for sure improve the vision on black and not detract from red. I do like the fact that the drivers panel is shifted left down the main straight and wrapping around the deadman rather than centered on the straight.

George, first race should be Saturday, May 17. Will be running three-four classes. Something like LMP, JRL, GT12, and a Euro class. Don't quote me yet on this but this is the direction we want to go on the third Saturday races.
BTW, great job at the Nats. Looking forward to seeing you and hearing more about it next month.

Looks like a really fun track, and would be excellent for my vintage cars.

Going to Punish those Retro Pro guys, I learned everything you need to know from watching certain scud missiles that drive in Retro, wait till they see how fast I can make carnage happen ! Who Power !!!

Oscar, I just want to have a good time, be an extra racer so they have an extra turn marshal or race director. I am not out to make the A Main like some people, and no matter where my cars finish, I do not cut them up with a soldering iron ? Retro Pro looks like a good class, and a lot of times they do not have enough guys to be able to race, and if I can be an extra, then sometimes that is all they need....
