I used to race there too, back in the day. I think from about '86 - '90. I remember a lot of the people earlier in this thread! I've been meaning to post up some pictures, but I guess I don't have enough posts yet.

Man this place was super cool back in the day.. Is Pegasus the closest thing to Ranch Pit today?
I remember a couple others in the area like Comstocks hobby in Rialto and wasn't there something in Glendora too?

dang all the Old school racers !!!! how cool !!!!
the Ranch was the BomB for me !! loved that place was a bummer to see it go
K&M was the killer place BEFORE was extreme i remember racing the ranch then they finish early,then everyone would head off to race K&M the Same day!!
kinda sad no more places in the Inland Empire??
i'll see a friendly face from time to time? like Jerome !!!!! so it makes the racing still fun !! i like the racing! hate the "Politics".....LOL
track wise we had a ton! was great!! i dont think there was a day when every track was close on a given day? i think maybe Thursdays?
myself was at M&M Tuesdays,Wed. Ranch,(So-Cal if raining),thursday "Day off LOL" Fri.M&M,Sat,Ranch/K&M(M&M if it was Raining),Sunday K&M
those were just the ones i would go to most, but there were all the ones in Corona/Norrco and San-Berdo!!
now kinda hard to find a track? Pegasus is cool !!(outdoor) the other Indoor tracks dont run on Saturdays??? kinda weird??
other ones are just "Gone"
anyone ever hear what happend to Randy Hamilton? he just kinda Vanished????
what about Alan Losi? wonder if he's still doing the "Band Thing"...???
was cool seen him a few times....i remember Skating back with him Waaayyyy back in the day !! when i was with Powell/Peralta and then went to Kryptonics then hopped over to "DOGTOWN" those were some days !!!!

Good Old Days
Haven't read all the posts but sure read enough to bring back some good memories! I was one of the Custom Racing Products sponsored drivers back in the day and raced many times with the Losi's. Got my 1st trophy and 1st win in my first race at their other place in Reseda, The Mini Baja at the skatepark before they got the Ranch from John Thorp.
Even made top 10 at the World's Finals at the Anaheim Off Road Show! Allen is doing the music still and just had knee surgery and is on the mend. Gil Jr is back in the game with a tire company for RC cars.

Stopped by the ranch del mar back in the day (84?) and snapped a few pics, please shout out if you recognize any of these. I also have a bunch of pics from a race I attended the same week at another shop (all the hotshoes were there) I'll start a thread on those and will drop a link so you guys can all see if I have you in there. Please forgive the shitty pics of pics.
Of course I had a hopped up Rough Rider so I had to snap these.
I had never heard of Yokomo, I went on to be a dealer.
check out this guys tools
oh yea
I don't remember but I may have had some of that Ranch Red...
