HammerDown Editor:

Watsonville Speedway is within 5-10 miles of the Pacific Ocean, which keeps it cool.

Weather at Watsonville, CA. as of 3:53 PM PDT: Temperature 65° F / 18° C, Humidity 70%, Wind WSW at 12 mph.

Visibility: Clear skies

HammerDown! Editor: 4:13 PM

The track is a little quarter-mile. ...Not much bank to it, pretty flat. The surface rarely ruts up, and generally stays moist as the Pacific Ocean tides come in.

The pits are very tight for all the big WoO transporters.

The track record was set two years ago, on September 9, 2000. Mark Kinser turned the 'bullring' in 10.949 seconds, averaging 82.199 mph. in the Mopar #5m
