Sacramento Raceway closed ? The whole complex with short track too ?
Where I saw a very young Kenny Roberts, bike held vertical @ the start line

No, it's not. The gates closed years ago, and with them went countless memories of motorcycle racing, drag racing, and nights spent at one of Northern California's legendary tracks.

Some places are more than just pavement. Sacramento Raceway Park was one of them. 🏁❤️"


 
The AMR26 in its natural state….stopped and not being competitive.

I love how the first guy is walking by like 'meh'. The second guy is mean mugging it like the car cost him some betting $$, and the third guy is like 'It has all the right stuff to be competitive, but......'.

:LOL:

I saw that Mercedes F1 car at Sears Point a few years back. Watching it attack the course in person was something I'll never forget. One of those rare moments that makes everyone wish they'd been there. Former F1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez put the Mercedes-AMG W07 around Sonoma in 1:15.430, just edging the standing IndyCar lap record of 1:15.520 set by Josef Newgarden. The difference on paper was only a tenth of a second, but seeing that F1 car brake, corner, and change direction in person was absolutely unreal. Anybody else here lucky enough to see it?
