Unlike a lot of folks, I didn't get to my first race until I was 12 and it was at Hangtown Speedway (now Placerville). I was hooked from the get go. Other area tracks that we used to visit were Stockton 99, West Captital, All American Speedway (in Roseville), Triple M (Marysville) and Silver Dollar. Never did make it to Baylands, it opened after I had gone off to college and sea. . .
