I am a street racer from So Cal. I am a bad speller and don't need to be reminded of it either. (spent more time under a hood than in a book unless it was a car rag) Have not figured out the spell check on this forum. I am helping in reopening dragstrips in the Los Angeles area and giving street racers a place to race other than the streets. One of the tracks is Brotherhood Raceway and the other is the now recent closure of Los Angeles County Raceway in the high desert of LA County.
