Jalopies at the Carpinteria Thunderbowl and Gardena Stadium. CRA "Big Cars" at "the New" Ascot Park right after they renamed it from it's original name, Los Angeles Speedway, then Midgets on the new infield 1/4 mile at Ascot and Super Mods on the Quarter and the 1/2 mile after Gardena closed. Early-model Stocks at Saugus. Mostly my childhood addiction was fueled on Sundays when Dick "Leatherbritches" Lane called the action from Gardena, then Ascot on KTLA, Channel 5; the in-person trips were special occasions that I lost sleep anticipating, like the night before Christmas.
