It's again a pleasure to see Mr Wong's photography. Marvelous stuff. Thank you for posting.

 

There's a lot more charm in racing on the airfield racetrack than is visible to non-participants. From some vantage points practically every bit of the contests can be seen, and there is always a great conglomeration of exhibits, invited, intended, and accidental, on the premises. I wonder if they still offer free guided tours of the paddock. All manner of arcane knowledge revealed!

 

Thanks again, Jerry.

Frank as you have stated most racing began on airport type courses. I remember what a great event Santa Barbara was, also Palm Springs. I lived in Palm Springs in my youth and loved going to the airport to watch the cars run.

Nice post, Jerry.  A few years ago, I was fortunate to participate in a Driver's Ed on this course on the Thursday before the race weekend.  Unfortunately a few too many of my fellow drivers found the K rails.  Too much carnage and the event hasn't been repeated since.  Here's a few pics from this year's event:
