For the trivia buffs. The first road race held on the west coast was in
Santa
Rosa, CA, in 1909. The winning car was a Stoddard-Dayton. There were some
later races, e. g. Corona, and Santa Monica, CA (the teens).
The first post war sports car race (WWII) was held at Buchanan Field in
1949.
This race was won by an MG driven by Bernd Qvale (Kjell's brother)
