Hey SoCal trackies

About a year ago, Encino had a $10k 100k quasi miss-n-out. This year
(2008) nothing.

What gives?

Good memory, Carl. I'm not a trackie but I was there last year so I'll
comment. I think whoever put up the ten grand was very disappointed with the
turnout, both from the racers but perhaps more so with the small number of
spectators. Originally, the promoter anticipated large enough entries to
need heats before the 400-lap final, but that was not needed at all. All the
entries fit on the track easily, and there was enough of a gap that guys
couldn't gain a lap early. Further, I'd guess maybe 50-100 spectators total,
and most didn't stay until the end. Also, is the US giving up on a winter
track season? I haven't been paying close attention but it seemed there was
more buzz about it a year or two ago.

Anyway, I took some pics and spewed some verbiage about the $10K track race
last year here. (Scroll past the early drivel...)
