allowed to have 'direct injection' now ? Please forgive me, I'm from the era of Offys running with Chevys, just as the wings were being recognized .

Nothing like Sprint Cars on dirt on a Saturday Night.
I prefer the winged variety, but they are all cool.
Spent a lot of weekends at Placerville, Chico, Antioch, Lebannon, etc.
The best.

Been to all those and my home track of Petaluma.

My favorite track in NorCal is Calistoga. Big and fast. [emoji106]

Raced at Petaluma with Lee Olibas and Jim Tryon in outlaw Wedge Cars.
Calistoga is bad ass.
There used to be a track out in Lovelock, Nv. It was built with mine tailings. Wildest thing ever, hookup unreal during quals and such, and very little dust. When it went dry slick it was scary, scary fast. Gone now, like lots of tracks. A damn shame.

That's funny my uncle did some welding for olibas and he lived jus around the bend from us. Hung out in the garage a few times and in the pits with his team.
My folks spent more time with them than i Did.
Remember the name tryon [emoji106]

Back then those guys went out on a posse tour , never heard much about them
Petaluma had 360 sprinters Big showing in Saturday nights.

I used to go to Calistoga and watch the NorCal sprinters. Tim green, jimmy sills etc and watch the outlaws when they came [emoji106]

Good ol days.

Lol I quoted myself. Oh well :)

There's still a track there, not sure if it's the same one you're talking about though?

I can't tell from the website. I remember racing there two years in a row in the early 90's and we got 2nd in the Main against Olibas, but the road out to the track washed out and they didn't fix it..so no racing for 5 or 6 years. Might be, tho. Ya never know.

Milk that is amazing. If you went to Posse Races and were in Olibas' Pit we may have met...my partner Ron and I spent a Season with the Posse...
