i figured it can't be any worse for me as i drove to Infineon and only got to do one run. :-)
if you guys know of any place better then i'm down. will drive as far as south as San Diego and as far north as Vegas (this one might require some planning and might as well make a vacation out of it).
I know what you mean - sux that this is the only 1/4 mile track in SoCal since LA County Drag was closed. Irwindale and Qualcomm are 1/8th mile tracks which is fine for practicing launches but boring as hell otherwise.
A huge problem with Cali Speedway is the gross lack of track prep. I've been there ONE time when it was actually really good, but most of the time even the AWD guys complain they can't hook up. That's bad. Three years ago on the old track they were actually pretty well organized, but it seems to be going downhill since the move to the new track on the other side of the stadium. Add to this that the temps are usually reallly high and there's almost always a nasty headwind, and getting decent times is almost impossible. My 14.4 was run in 95 degree heat with a 20mph headwind and no track prep. It would be nice to know what I would have run under good circumstances! I know that similarly equipped cars on the East Coast are regularly running 13.7 or so.
