Sorry to here it bro.
I've been there, only in my case a good friend from high school owns a tow company, his dad and brother are serious racers and the track is only 8 miles from my house. When I break he's usually there or a phone call away, I give him a $20 for his trouble and usually have to force him to take that. lol

I go to byron, its only like 30 minutes from my house. Now they can stay open up to midnight on friday/saturday nights. They just have to get lights up still.

Cordova is a nice track, wish they wouldnt have axed the ffw there this year.

So they did kill it there.. Was it Cordova's decision or Fun Ford's? Never heard the story behind that. What was the reasoning?

Was fun fords from what I have read. It was because it wasnt drawing in enough participants compared to other events.
