Actually, we all were paying the rent. If you ask me So Cal was closed a long time ago. I too remember the days of 20+ heats. That kind of turnout ended about 4 years ago…I wonder why?

If TA couldn’t pay the rent then so be it. hahaha…just kiddin Tony

If I decide to buy (I mean rent) a new house, I wonder if TA/TT would pay the bill for me () ?

well I apologize... but like I said..."It's what I heard" not "what it was"... and obviously others heard the same thing... I'm glad you clarified it though

I would hate to have that rumor spread any further..


when are we going to see you bring your bike out?

What about us off-roaders? Besides, OC already has an on-road track named Bending Corners.

Come on now, Thadius...you know why...

I think there are some other race directors out there that would love a shot at running races at a permanent track. Slim used to be the man back in the day...just didn't seem as into it anymore.
