FCALA at California Speedway
By Steve Tillack
Friday - Sunday, May 24thth
Southern California?s premier auto racing facility will be the exclusive domain of the Ferrari Club of America during FCALA 2002. The California Speedway offers complete state of the art hospitality accommodations for the racer and spectator including "real" sparkling clean restrooms. When you arrive you will find a spacious "no door ding" area dedicated for Ferrari Only Parking.
Spectators will enjoy a panoramic view of the entire track from infield terrace and you will be treated to a fine Italian lunch, catered daily. In addition, a limited number of the Private Suites will be available for rent. Positioned at the heart of California Speedway atop pit row, Terrace Suites offer a comfortable refuge just a few steps away from the action and excitement of the garage area. The Pit Row Terrace Suites offer accommodations for 30 guests, an outdoor roof-top viewing deck, closed-circuit TVs, public address system, telephone service (local and credit card calls), air conditioning, and a wet bar. The cost will be $1,500 for the event. For information regarding the rental of the suites, please call Marv Landon at (818) 971-3300, extension 2350.
Track event participants will be running on the newly constructed 2.7 mile road course. Starting with a run up the oval?s 11 degree banked front straight to turn one, the track transitions to the 21-turn infield. At the completion of the Infield Road Course, the track merges back onto the oval at the exit of turn four. As expected, the paddock facility has exceptional accommodations for trailer parking. In addition, a limited number garage spaces will be available. California Speedway has spotless and enormous infield garages. The fully enclosed garages are roofed, walled and lockable with unlimited access to electrical power inside and out. Air is also available at each stall. Each stall will be available for $300 for all three-track days. They are on a first come first serve basis.
