Pound It Raceway

If your looking for some fun on-road club racing this weekend then I have the place for you. Pound It Raceway located in San Diego. The race director is Ray Rameriez. He has been running races here in San Diego since the beginning of the 2009 racing season. I personally want to thank him for taking the time to do this. It is alot of hard work putting together a quality outdoor asphalt track.

He is there early every race weekend setting it up for us. He washes the track and lays a nice coat of grape soda down for traction. The race program started out as a once a month treat but it has turned into a bi-weekly racers delight for the locals here in San Diego. He recently held a Dash for Cash race in July and had some world class drivers come down from LA, which provided an exciting day of racing.

So if your looking for something fun to do this weekend make it out to Pound It Raceway, you will not be disappointed. Ray puts on a good race for both the beginner and the seasoned on-road veteran. I look forward to seeing next weeks video's.
