I am not quite old enough to remember West Capitol Speedway but, I am a long time resident of Sacramento and a Sprint Car fan..I find myself day dreaming of dirt tracks returning to Sac. So I am planting a seed on Facebook (a cause) to: Bring Back Dirt Track Racing To Sacramento. Please Like Our page here is the URL: https://www.facebook.com/BringBackDirtTrackRacingToSacramento

Feel Free to Share any fond memories that you may have of Dirt Track Racing and photo's! In the long run I would like to gain alot of support and bring this to the attention of the City of Sacramento city council. I know it seems to be a bit of a pipe dream but, I don't just wanna roll over and say it's over. We only do this as a group of loyal fans! BTW you do not have to be a local fan to like this page I want to show we have support all over the country.

There was a grassroots effort to keep the Sacramento Kings in Sacramento on Facebook and it certainty helped the cause to build a new facility.(400 million) there are more Dirt Track Fans across the country and world than there are Kings fans. Thanks for looking.
Hammerdown!

I started going to West Capitol when I was five years old. My favorite driver was Jimmy Gordon. I still remember hearing of his accident at the old state fair grounds. I then became a Mike Wasina fan and my first girlfriend was Wally Baker's daughter. Lots of memories !

You were a Mike Wasina fan while dating Wally Baker's daughter... I'm guessing that didn't work out. Some of my best memories are from West Capital Raceway! Smile

I didn't get there often enough. I announced up at Hangtown, but whenever I could I would run down the hill to West Capital. I loved the joint. For lots of pictures, check out this website. Pics from Hangtown, Grass Valley, Roseville (both dirt and paved) and a few other joints, too.
