Trivia question - Where and What is this??

['69Novajoe]

Okay all you "old" guys (like me), here's one for you. If no one guesses this right away I'll give you a few hints.
Okay, one hint right off the bat is, it will help if you're familiar with So. Calif.

Looks like Lillards back yard where he keeps his Vespas and Isettas ? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/CharleySucks.gif

<span style="color: #3333FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">Winner, winner, winner!! I kinda knew you would know that Bruce! We actually went right by there when we went for that &quot;test drive&quot; in the Nova. By the way, you won another &quot;drive&quot;, but this time I'll try and not miss a shift!! Or better yet, you can drive!! For extra credit, do you remember the other entrance to OCIR??</span></span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #990000">No, actually it was off the 405 and you ended up going over the 5 Freeway on a small one-lane bridge</span>.</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #990000">Yeah, for me too!</span>!</span>

I do remember that way...now that you mention it. The entrance I was talking about was the &quot;free&quot; way to get in...off of the &quot;freeway&quot;...LOL <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

We may be in town over Independence Day? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif

So there's still open land in Orange County? How the hell did that happen?

It's probably super-polluted and the EPA cleanup costs have scared any potential developers away <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif

<span style="color: #CC0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">That is pretty amazing in itself!! This particular piece of land has been vacant for as long as I can remember. There are a lot of office buildings all around it and I'm sure it's days are numbered! The old saying was &quot;welcome to smog-free Orange County&quot; and now it's &quot;welcome to orange-free Smog County!!&quot; At least they can't take away our memories. </span></span>

I have a bunch of 60's commercials that were played on KHJ for OCIR. I can hear the jingle now...&quot;Come to the Orange County International Raceway....&quot;

I can't remember if I went to one of those or not!! Man, I must be getting old!! I do remember the &quot;Fox Hunt&quot; for Speedway racing at the Orange County Fair Grounds though.
