I'm with Bob on this one. Had the pleasure of seeing two nights of great sprint car racing at Manzanita back in '92. Brad Noffsinger won the first feature. Richard Griffin (one of my all-time favorites) won the 42 lap feature (green all the way) on night two. It was supposed to be 40 laps but somehow they lost count of laps run. Even got to have a beer with "Doc" Griffin (the Gas Man's Dad) while we waited out a brief shower.

Loved the track, the motel (Embassy Suites), the town, and the people. Gotta get back out there (Perris too) and plans are to do just that as soon as Danny B. retires. Of course, by that time I may be wearing a bib to dinner and watching Golden Girl reruns before my 7:00 p.m. :sleep: . :wink
