This will consist of an Autocross course, a moto X course, a road course and an eighth-mile drag strip. Reportedly, blueprints are being drawn up right now for the strip and a contractor is being selected to resurface the concrete http://dragracingonline.com/agent1320/2009/1320-xi_1-50.html scroll down page... boy...the tree huggers are going to be all over this one...

I believe a race track has been proposed several times in the last few years, only to have the city and board of supervisors reject it.. With that said, a race track inside the Bay Area is long long overdue.. 73 Duster 360 stroker http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2594657
