That's very sad news. I visited in 1998. It wasn't so much the racing I remembered. That seemed to be happening quite far away. It was seeing all those customised and gaily painted Furies, Mustangs, Bearcats and Yaks.
Combined with the blistering sun certainly a memory I cherish. I had hoped to return one day.
Are we seeing the inevitable wind down of ops for similar venues like the CAF?
btw does Salinas and Evergreen still hold shows?
