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.

Smell the burned up clutches and stripped transmissions? Tony is due to win this one.

Speed channel saying #24 and #48 cars parked - not allowed to practice. Rules violation, failed inspection. Not allowed to qual either - will start at the back of the field.

playing with the COT stuff really does piss off Nascar, I guess.

wow!

They have to do something with this race. I can’t stand fuel mileage races. The best cars are gonna get screwed today. Let them have bigger fuel cells.

I wish NASCAR had “Moonshine” races. Current cars with a window sticker price (sans taxes and delivery) of no more than %35,000.00 in the no options configuration. All models would be constructed in the Good Old USA. Only the most common sense safety items to be mandated. Modifications would be limited to the drive train, tires and brakes. All races would be on road courses and limited to no more than 400 miles due to slower speeds. Let American ingenuity and driver skills be the route to winning a race. More fun, More pride. Leave the paint-by-number instruments with four wheels be left to formula and indy racing.

Hi Norm...quick question:

Why do they call it the “Toyota/SaveMart 350”? I did the calculating and 110 laps on a 1.99 mile track is only about 217 miles.
