It may not boast the crowds it once did (and with a $30 admission price, that’s understandable) but going to the Saturday night speedway race at the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds is still something special. Race promoter Brad Oxley knows how to put on a great show while showing total respect for his racers, from the professional speedway guys to the minibikers. I had not been to a Costa Mesa event for a number of years and that’s just wrong. This is something that needs to be experienced at least once a year.
