Still wondering: Does anyone know if the old sand drag track will be paved for 1/8th mile drags? I continue to hear rumors to this effect. Can anyone confirm or deny this rumor?

Jr, Brian, and Kevin Drake for putting the track together. Ron and Bruce for helping with the problems with the water truck Bill Groves for doing the bathroom decks Barto Tom Eaton for just helping with everything! No one was more disapointed about the rain than me! We will just add another race add the end of the year for a make up race. Thanks again guys and I will see you all on May 17. Todd R.

Still looking for a POC who knows something about the speedway midgets. I've talked to all the Dwarf and 600 sprint drivers in town. Great ambasadors for the track! Need a name and/or phone number for someone involved with the speedway midgets though. Thanks,,

With the prediction of rain for Sat. I just had a thought. Some of us live more than two hours away and I was wondering if you have a system in case you need to cancel the race Sat to notify us before we take off for the track.

Nice track! Reminds me of El Toro ack when I was racing TQ's (early 70's), tucked away in the hills. I brought a friend to Barona last year. I'm doing it again this year for the opener. Have a great season!

T. Gulliver <Tgulliver2002@yahoo.com>
Santee, ca USA -

No, due to so much rain in the past few months and new clay brought in two weeks ago, there's still too much to be done to have an open practice before the 1st race.
Judi Salazar
Jamul, CA USA -

Wondering if you are going to have a practice day before the first race? Ray

Checked out the mini dwarf rules. Am I missing it or does anybody understand why porting and polishing a head in a kid's racing class is legal? Doesn't seem to make any sense...

I just wanted to let Todd and everybody at the track what a great time I had this year racing my street stock at Barona Speedway. I would like to make it to all of the races next year to have some more fun for the 2003 season. When will you have the schedule out for next year? I had heard that you are going to keep the same schedule as far as the every other week. But how many races are the street stocks going to have? Well thanks again and I can't wait till next year.

Thanks to all the crew at Barona Speedway for they're hard work and late nights putting on a great racing season. The Southern California Legends Assoc. had a blast racing there this year. It's great having a place to race in our own back yard.

Deepest sympathy goes out to Karen Morris, wife of Eddie who regularly competes at BSP with the Outlaw Dwarf Cars on the loss of her Mom this past week. Out thoughts and prayers are with the entire Griffith & Morris families.

what would take to get a go kart class or two started up out at Barona. I'm from central california, and still have my race karts. I moved to san diego two years ago and droped racing due to lack of a track. I was looking into cajon "speedway" but was dissapointed to find out that they made a sprint course out of the speedway. anyways it sounds like barona could be a great karting track. if anybody has karts or would be interested in running one, please e-mail me. maybe we could get something started.

as of now there are very few to race at barona speedway; mabe thats why we all have a good time there.the rules are general simular to elcajons but not as strict. safty is every ones main concern none of us want to see any body get injured.belts,helmet,firesuits,gloves,roll cage,fuel cells are some of the requirments if you have any quistions call the track they will be very helpfull

I have known him and his family for many many years and my life will not be the same without him in it (who's gonna critic my pictures and help print my black and white stuff???).I know alot of you are feeling the loss and I hope to see many of you this Saturday, the 24th, for a moment of silence. He loved his photography and REALLY enjoyed driving and he felt lucky to know all the wonderful drivers and support folks at Barona. I know he will miss us all and we will certainly miss him and his awesome pictures. Thanks for letting me share, Feel free to contact me if you like. Daniel Ogas

We wonder what the gate price is? Do you ever have any Pro-Stocks? And what about 360 or 400 Sprints? Once again, it looks great. Looking forward to attending soon.

I am glad to hear that you have a good time at the race track. As far as your statement about the URA cars I noticed that you also made a post a couple months ago about the modern midget cars. They too put on a good show but they did not have enough cars to put on a show. Both groups need to get some cars together in order to give the fans a good race to watch! I hope that answered your question.

Due to lack of interest by the URA cars by not showing up on scheduled race dates I am removing them from the schedule. If any URA drivers have any questions you need to get ahold of Ray Alcarez for any questions or comments. If you have any comments do not post them on this message board contact Ray or myself.

I came to Barona for my first time this past Saturday night and had a really good time. I reall enjoy watching the street stocks and the modifieds. They put on a really good show. Did the fire affect the car count or is that how many big cars show up on a regular basis? Well anyway had a great time and I hope to make it back soon.

What motorcylces are you talking about? The motocross started out really good but then fizzled out after the first race! No I will never try that again! The flat track bikes were also good when we first started but then that also fizzled out. My friend Chris Apple is trying to get something going with the flat track bikes but I would not get your hopes up. In the promoting business you believe something when you see it happen!

After looking at all of the cars that we had with the last race it will be impossible to post all of the results for all of the classes for each race! With the way that we are doing it now at least we can touch on the top finishers of each class of cars for each race. My best advice will be to keep in touch with your friend and talk to him after each race.

You can go to the race results page on the website and get the results for the top 3 finshers of all classes from the first race for 2002. At this time I do not know where the entire list is from Saturday nights results is. I will have to ask my Mom. I will work on getting more than the top 3 from each class.

Thank you for your nice comments! As far as the street stocks go I have left the 2 and 4 barrel carburators decision. What the drivers decided was that they wanted 2 barrels only! As far as tires that is up to the drivers of each car. What I would really like to see is that we get enough cars to make to classes of street stocks. A factory stock class and super street class! But I need cars for that. It is slowly coming along. Hopefully the word will spread and the drivers will follow. Any other questions you can e-mail me directly! Thanks again and I will see you in two weeks.

i would like to commend you all for such a smooth running show. we had a really nice time there. i appreciate the effort the track took to make the track better after it rutted up . i am a regular at imperial speedway but i am going to try to make as many shows as possible with you folks. the racing was fun, i was impressed with the flagman as well as the other competitors. especially the factory and pony stock drivers, i appreciated their driving during our race. mad dog mike has been trying to get us to come up all season. i now know why. i am rallying the troops down here in the desert. i think in a few weeks i can get 4 or 5 pro stocks to come up. i just need a definitive answer on some rules for these guys. for instance, if we run our street tires can we run our 4 barrels. or if we run hoosiers we would have to run a 2 barrel? i had street tires and a 2 barrel on the car saturday night, but i am not sure my guys here have 2 barrels available. please let me know. again great job and i am looking forward to seeing you soon. david white #86

We were speculating on how many modifieds would come because of now being a IMCA sanctioned track. I won the bet because I thought that we would have between 7 to 10 cars. I just hope that both classes of cars continue to grow. Thanks for asking! C-ya on the 18th.

Well it seems with all of that work that was put into the track in the off season that it really paid off. The track held up nice and it seems that we have a two groove track! I would like to thank the California Lightning Sprints, Outlaw dwarfs, 600 sprint cars and the speedway midgets for one of the best nights of racing that we have had in a long time! I am hoping that all of our races will just get better as the seaon goes on! Thanks again and I will see ya in two weeks! Todd R. Salazar Barona Speedway

Hello folks, you put on a great show Sat. night, thanks, I'm looking forward to this season! Quick question for you all: How much demand is there for custom machine work out here? My Dad and my former engine builder (40+ years experience combined? Genius redneck creativity.) have full scale machine shops, and they will bargain with you. They've supplied racers in the midwest (shops are located in Indiana) with everything from torsion bars and tie rods to "creative solutions" that are "ready by race day." If you can ship it, they can fix it, and make you an identical piece...probably much cheaper than you can buy it new. They will make you a deal, and give free estimates, via email/telephone. I'm just fishing here folks, the old man has been retired for a couple years and is getting bored. Mom wants him confined to his shop for a little while to get him out of her hair. Anyone interested, contact me via email. Thanks, Damon

Thanks TODD Was reading the UT today and wondered no Dwarfs at Barona. Though that strange, or was it another racing group belly up, until I looked the schedule on your site. Figuered it was that dumb#%^@#! at the UT. Shows how much he cares about racing in San Diego county.Too bad there is no other paper to read each day.

I can not tell you how many times I have been misquoted or the wrong information has been put in the paper. When and article is written by someone else that is a chance that you have to take. I donot think that he will mention that he made a mistake it is something that will just have to be dealt with. If people go to the website and look under the schedule they will see that the cars are infact on the schedule for the 2002 season!
Todd Salazar
Jamul, Ca USA - Thursday, January 10, 2002 at 13:13:05 (PST)

Great! That the dwarf cars are going to be there, not so great that the UT made a mistake. I think it might be a good idea to see if they can correct what they wrote in the paper today because you're going to have a lot of upset fans when they read that the dwarf cars are not racing up there this year. Who knows, you may have just lost some of fan count by that little accident. Thanks for responding so quickly to my message.

Boy has things changed, but the people are still the same since I have left San Diego back in 97. I am so happy to see that barona is doing so good still and that it has finially went to a bigger track. Just wish I could of been there to see it grow, along with the Dwarf's. Some of you may still remember me I used to be the Dwarf Tech Inspector/Pit Steward in 1996 for the Dwarfs. Just wish the results were a little more indepth and also included a season points standings too. Maybe someday I will be able to take a trip back out and see all of my old friends at BSP. P.S.

Our 5 year old son Shane had his first race as a MiniDwarf driving Lane Sonnenberg's Blue #5 car. With just half throttle, he was the slowest car and place 13th. But he's told all the family and friends how he drove a "real race car" and he that he won. Then he shows off the trophy and ribbon. Special thanks to the Dad to bought all the trophies for the kids. Thanks to everyone for making it a fun experience. We'll be back!

COD had a great race tonight. We enjoyed our competition with the Legends and understanding that the Legend drivers don't have very much dirt time experience, they raced us very smoothly and clean. And I'm sure, speaking for the Club as a whole, we enjoyed the direct competition with them. Judging from some of the smoothe drivers they had, I'm sure the next time that we compete with them it will be a much more exciting and close race. We would like to thank all you Legend car drivers and owners for coming out and enjoying a night of racing with us. Gordon Holman COD President P.S. And Troy, thanks for getting some direct inner-club competition going, it was fun.

STREET STOCKS, HOW CAN U MAKE SOME RUN WITH 2 BARREL CARBS AND LET OTHER'S RUN WITH 4 BARRLE CARBS? WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS IN THAT. SOME BODY NEED'S TO CHECK IT OUT BEFORE THE RACE START'S. LET'S GIVE ALL THE STREET STOCKS THE SAME RULES.

santee, ca USA - Monday, June 11, 2001 at 16:01:08 (PDT)

Great race at Barona but I think we could make it better if in the Street Stocks they all were on the same playing field. Lets give the fans a real show, all Street Stocks run 2 barrel carbs. or 4 barrel carbs. This deal of the track saying all Street Stocks need to run 2 barrel carbs. then in last weeks show let some run 4 barrel carbs. is unfair. Come on Management step up to the plate and do the right thing. Stand behind what you say and put all the Street Stock on a even playing field. Larry

We went from 18th place to 4th place in the dwarf car main event. Great job Barto #63. We are very proud of you. I would like to say a BIG thank you to Tom Eaton Jr.#15. You were very nice to let my dad drive your dwarf car #10x. Ralph (my dad) also did a great job. He has not raced open wheel (sprint cars) in at least 20 years. And he was able to make it to the dwarf car main event. And then end in 12th place. And then gave the car back in one piece. Great job dad. We know that you could do it. We will now be partners with dad in dwarf car #80. Once bitten by the racing bug, well you know the rest. I also wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that is always there to help us. And the ones that congratulated us after the main event. Barto's Dwarf Car Racing Voice & Fax - 760 747 7889 E-mail - dwarfcar63@juno.com web page - http://dwarfcar.8m.com/me.htm

Bob the website is looking great I look forward to adding more pictures here in the very near future. For those of you in atttendance on April 28th you were treated to some of the finest open wheel racing action that San Diego County has to offer. With two of the Track favorites dicing it out into the night, the CLS ( California Lightning Sprints) showing up 30 cars strong and proving once again what a fine well run club they are.Also not to forget the California Outlaw Dwarf Cars that just seem to keep getting better running a full field of cars that made good use of the track when the pole went a little slick the cars reached out to the outside groove that resulted in some great racing action with alot of passing and 3 wide situations taking place. All and all just another great night of racing at Barona Speedway and we look forward to the next event when we are joined by the two groups again.On behalf of myself and the rest of my family thank you for putting on such a quality show......
