One new in Kern County but I think it?s 1/8?

Gavin Newsom doesn't really understand California, does he?

The Teflon Don has already stated he does not care Motorsports.

I was just at Sonoma for an event . Apparently it is one of the only two they scheduled for the year . The other being the national event . The tower gone is definitely a different look at the track . The only issue is that I can see is they had to have one person in the staging lanes dedicated on the radio giving car numbers to whoever is located wherever they are inputting it into the computer. That should be interesting to see how that works not only giving car numbers but also dial-in. The event I was at was mostly heads-up racing so not so much an issue .
Also those familiar with Sonoma know of the bump in shut down in the left lane ! That has very much seemed to gotten worse as it tore the front section of our nose up on a car that has been down that track many times before in years past ! Very frustrating what?s going on in this state with racing facilities for sure .

Second floor media center where you usually get your passes is where the tower is now. North end of the garages.
