An early escape from work and a 3.5 hour drive up to Auburn was rewarded
by some very fast racing on a track with comparatively long straights
and sharp corners. These riders looked very good, but for some reason
they don't seem to look as fast at Costa Mesa, maybe unfamiliarity with
the shape of the track. The place was packed with what must have been
between 3000-4000 spectators. There were no shortage of riders either. A
full program with 24 first division riders, with both scratch and
handicap racing, 18 second division, 18 third division, then 3 heats of
juniors.
It's too far to make a weekly event of it. I also had the pleasure of
meeting RC Jones, who threatened to supply the results to this
distribution. Appologies if this is a repeat.
