That's a looooooong time.
I used to watch them race at the San Jose Mile track before it was shut down. Lots of fun!
“I used to watch them race at the San Jose Mile track before it was shut down.”
A buddy of mine had a pretty good story about the San Jose Mile. One year when he was winning everything up here in Eureka some of them went to the San Jose Mile. He said he was out in practice going for everything he was worth and some guy just flew by him with one hand on the throttle and he was hunched over adjusting the carburetor with the other hand. He said he knew right then that he didn’t have a chance.
