Hi All,

Having a track day on Saturday October 25. Please keep comments and posts at the Altimas Board, so I don't have to check multiple sites to organize this thing.

Thanks!

FWIW I've heard nothing but bad things about the Holtville track... crappy asphalt that's not level. Just a friendly notice. Buyers beware!

I heard this from a few people when I went to willow springs. Can anyone whoes ACTUALLY been there confirm this??

It's an airport runway. It used to be an Air-Force training field. If you look on the ground, you'll still see huge anti-aircraft shells (50 Caliber I think) all over the gravel next to the track. It's pretty funny.

It's concrete, and not asphalt. It's not as rough as people think. Think of it like a Street-Course in Miami or Long Beach that CART runs on. Definitely not the smoothness of Buttonwillow, and Fontana, but good enough to race on.

Very little tire-wear.

You guys need to talk to Pete....addicted2sp33d, he is the one setting this up for us...keep in mind....Middle of nowhere...HOT... and it is a privatly owned track, and tracks cost A LOT to keep up, and the track isn't asphalt, it is concrete. also, there was a fundraiser not too long ago to renovate the track...so it SHOULD be in better shape by now...if it ever was in bad shape. Hope that helps you guys out!

and hope to see you there!
