Jim Karls, I'd like to thank you and the MSRA club members for their help and hospitality this past weekend. All of you did a great job handling...
Yes, Joe Brown built. Joe Mouton is the owner. The great 8 have been announced.
You're right, I should have said "built in" and not "shipped to". Thanks California thought the frames were too flexible and required the boxing....

Updated info - Jim called his older brother who added this info. The track operated from about 1960 to 1964. Yes, his Dad leased the land from the...
