I was reading some history on Sacramento Raceway here:

Does anyone know how many lives were lost down the Sacramento Raceway 1320 since it opened in 1964?

Why the hell would you want to know that?

Why wouldn't I want to know that... It can be a dangerous hobby. Just curious.

As far as I know my dad never raced at Fremont. The city made them close the track due to a bunch of BS with land and what not.

How many people on here knew Vacaville had a track? I believe Lodi also had one too.

2.5

In the mid 80's we had a crash were a car barrel rolled down the guard rail and the female driver didnt make it, We had a top Fuel Charley rider pass after his cylinder head came and tore he aorta at about 35 feet into the run. And 3 years ago we had a racer have a stroke in a mid 7 sec dragster half way down the track and crash but thanks to all of our safety staff, and a portable defibrillator we where able to revive him. He has made a full recovery and is alive well and racing today

Wow, only 2? I would have expect it to be much higher. Thank you for chiming in!
