Another West Coast Track with Issues.

It currently has nothing to do with drag racing at the moment but thousands of people in 2023 were supposedly sickened at Sonoma Raceway participating in a Mudder Event 5K/10K human event race it appears and the lawsuits are now working their ways into the court system.

SFGate has the story (allegedly the race humans racing -rolling around in and trudging through waist deep and more through mud made with a non-potable and known to the race promoter bacteria laced water source), according to the article I just read.

Sad, CA has lost enough tracks already over the last 5 decades. And 5 thousand participants (not sitting in the stands watching a race), but rolling in possibly tainted mud can easily be their undoing.

That they did not hold the Mudder event (1 of 40 across across the country annually for the race promoter in 2024 at Sonoma this year), though 1 is scheduled for SoCal soon....tells a story.

Let us hope it is not a sad story in the future for us and Sonoma Raceway.

Thousands after the event were sickened and the local health authorities traced the source back to water used at the track to make the muddy course.
