Hey guys...1977 was NOT that long ago!!
I remember watching all the SCCA, and Formula cars, as well as all the Can-Am races.
My YOUNGEST son was born in Sunnymeade, and that is where the mall is now, and the track used to be. I was at March AFB, and
it is now a TAC base, then it was a SAC base with constant B-52's, and KC-135's going all the time.

I went watch to races there as a kid.

We passed by many times while they were racing, you could see sections of the road course from the 60. I'd watch as best I could as we passed, but never could talk my parents into stopping to check it out or watch. By the time I was old enough to get myself there, it was already in demo.
