Infineon Raceway
Race Menu for the weekend series

Infineon Raceway

In 1968, the 2.52-mile road-racing course was constructed on 720 acres by Marin County owners Robert Marshall Jr., an attorney from Point Reyes, and land developer Jim Coleman of Kentfield. The two conceived of the idea of a racetrack while on a hunting trip. Ground was broken in August and paving of the race surface was completed in November. The first official event at Infineon Raceway was an SCCA Enduro, held on Dec. 1, 1968.

Talked to a sister in Fresno this morning and she said at least 108 there this weekend.

My wife now has the flu bug and I still have mine. Can't get too far from a bathroom...

Ouch!!!

To both 108 and the flu..
