An electrical problem at California Speedway may take a week to repair, according to Fastrack Riders, but this coming Saturday’s track day and this coming Sunday’s WERA West races will go on as planned. Fastrack Riders sent out the following e-mail to pre-entered riders: POWER DISRUPTION @ CALIFORNIA SPEEDWAY California Speedway just notified us that their major transformer has exploded and that it powers everything around the race track. Southern California Edison and an electrical contractor are saying it will take more than a week to repair. They will be hooking up generators so we can run timing and scoring but that will be the extent of electrical power available. There will be no electricity or air in the garages or on the islands so you must bring a generator to run your tire warmers and compressors! Since there is no power The Pit Road Café will be unable to open so you will have to go out of the Speedway complex to get food and refreshments. Please pack your cooler etc. accordingly. This will be for both January 12th Fastrack Riders event and Sunday, January 13th for the WERA West Race. There will be no PA System available so we will broadcast on FM 103.6 for all announcements. It is highly recommended you bring an FM receiver radio to hear all announcements for the track day as well as the race. California Speedway apologizes for the inconvenience!
