Loved the track, the motel (Embassy Suites), the town, and the people.

Great minds think alike, Marv. I, too, loved Manzy (although not quite as much as Reading) and also stayed at Embassy Suites (West) when out there for the '94 Copper World. Manzy ran the second ever SCRA program that night and IIRC it was won by a young J.J. Yeley. Perhaps one of our west coast historians could either confirm that or correct me on it.
