Default Baylands raceway

I lived 15 minutes from this racetrack. It used to be great. Across the freeway from the GM fremont plant where the a bodies were built.

Super cool. I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did. You'd never know a track was there when you look at the land today.

Yep. Used to fly out of the adjacent gliderport when I first moved to California.

I used to go there in the late '70's and into the '80's. The gent who sold me the '65 GTO I still own today in 1982 (It was built at Fremont) told me the original 389 tripower engine was blown up at Baylands in 1978.

My'65 that I bought from the original owner I've owned since 1983 was built at the Fremont plant and sold by DiGiulio Pontiac in Fremont.
