Sacramento Raceway

[Greg Reimer 7376]

The Pomona divisional I referenced earlier was in August of 2001 or 02. It was held in early August and it was miserably hot. Your comment of the heat is certainly well founded. A year or so ago, we had Winternationals on the last weekend of July, it was pretty bad. We started about 10:30 or so, got two runs in during the absolute heat of the day, and round one was about 6:30 or 7 PM. It absolutely kicked our collective posteriors. Even if you had a motor home with A/C, you had to come outside and face it sometime. That's the kind of heat that takes about half the next week to recover from. They even moved the annual county fair from September to May just because of the heat. April or May or even mid October would be pretty nice.

Your Papa won the divisional there in 1974 in the blue Cuda. Don and I were so excited, jumped on the mini bike to go to shutdown area. Don thought I was on, took off, and I butt planted in front of the bleachers, which were packed (not seen often since!). Those were the good ole days!

A Pomona Divisional in late February to replace the Double Divisional in Phoenix we lost would be perfect.

I’ve long thought that a National Open at Bakersfield the week prior to Pomona would be 1) fast and 2) give us West Coaster’s a chance to set records in the same kind of air that places like Orlando, Gainesville, Maple Grove, Atco, Houston (before it closed…) etc. get at times without the penalty.

To prevent the spread of misinformation on social media, we’d like to send out this official announcement:

Due to the influx of rumors going around about the potential closure of Sacramento Raceway, we would like to issue an official SRP statement with full transparency for our valued racers and patrons who have supported the track for more than 5 decades.

There is a potential buyer lined up for the land that SRP owns and operates. The sale is by no means official yet, and we will issue a statement if and when it is. We understand how frustrating this can be for you all and we will update you as soon as possible this season. The current timeline is around September of 2023…we will know whether or not the sale is official. If at that point in time it does go through, we will finish out the remainder of the 2023 season and SRP would be officially closed by 2024. If the sale does not go through, we will continue operating for as long as possible.

We appreciate all your support and whether or not the sale goes through, we hope to see you at the track this season!

These closures, or "potential" closures, are really dampening my hopes of competing....still not quitting though. Anyone else here skeptical of the Phoenix closure?

I know Top Gun's website was shared earlier, but here's a link to their GoFundMe page.

Young folks like yourself are the reason the racers here are posting. We all want the younger generation to experience what we have.
Hope to see you at the races.
