California dreamin' .........

If the timing and money were right, how many team's would do a California Sprint week? ? ? My ultimate dream would be to have this in Nov. around the Oval Nats.,J.W. Mitchell Classic, and Turkey Night. There is at least one Westcoast promoter who has his ear's on. Any national sponser's willing to help pony up a worthwhile purse ? ? ?

I remember back when NARC used to do a California Speed Week. It was around this time of year, as I recall. I wasn't out there often enough to make all the shows, but I did make a couple at Calistoga. Yeah, by then they had wings, but on that big track, it is quite a show. If I am not mistaken, one year they ran a USAC/BCRA joint midget show with the sprint cars that Billy Boat won. Early nineties if memory serves.

I think the bonus was for anyone who could win either 5 or 6 of the races. Both races were excellent, and it was the first time I got to see Tony drive in person. Used to look forward to Thursday Night Thunder back in those days.
