What do you think about

Speedway Race Track

possibly leaving the Orange

County Fairgrounds in October?


(Asked at Home Depot in Costa Mesa.)
“It’s been a local attraction for family outings for years. I think it’s a shame that this could be its last year. I’ve been there dozen of times. It’s an inexpensive form of enter­tainment for the kids.”

“I’m really bummed. I used to go as a child. Lightning Larry Fast was my favorite. It was a great part of growingup in Costa Mesa. We used to go every Friday night. I’d really be sorry to see it go.”

“I didn’t even know it was there. It’s not something that I would be interested in going to. It would probably be good in Riverside.”

“It saddens me tremendously. I met my wife there 10 years ago. She was a trophy girl. I’ve met a lot of people there that I see only there once a week. I’ve been motorcycle racing for about 30 years and this track has been a big part of my life.”

“For the residents who can hear the noise, I think it’s a good thing that it’s leaving. It’s not really a money-maker. I’ve never gone. I haven’t seen a motorcycle race in 25 years and I probably wouldn’t go any time soon.  Life’s too busy.”
