Speedway also ran in Santa Maria for a few seasons.
Fairgrounds Raceway was great while it lasted. It is hard to get things started and keep them going. I tip my hat to all promoters. Click picture for the memories--->

2005 Champion Webmaster Malcolm Roe riding his Hagon Bultaco grasstrack bike in the Eddie Mulder Flat Track series.
Grasstrack is the purest form of dirt track racing. Here is a film taken of the Lancashire Grasstrack Junior Riders Club (England) in 1975.
Both Malcolm Roe and Phil Collins are riding in this 32 year old movie taken by the late Mr Sudall of Heatley, Cheshire.
Mr Sudalls son is also riding. Lancs part one and Lancs part two.
