Barona Speedway promoter Todd Salazar wants to open the doors to his
quarter-mile dirt track to Cajon Speedway drivers who have found
themselves without a place to run.
Salazar is holding a meeting at noon Saturday at his track – five
miles northeast of the Barona Casino on Wildcat Canyon Road – to
determine how much interest there is in running four Cajon Speedway
divisions on the Barona oval this season.
"We'd expand the schedule and go back to racing every Saturday
night," said Salazar, whose current 16-race schedule calls for
alternating-week programs for dwarf cars, California Lightning sprint
cars and modified midgets.

Barona Speedway is scheduled to open its season on April 30.
"If the Cajon stock cars want to race at Barona and there are enough
of them to make it work, we are there for them," said Salazar. "I can
fill the void of the loss of Cajon Speedway if the drivers are
interested."

Salazar says he can open the gates immediately to Cajon's Pony,
Bomber and Factory stock classes. And he'd like to run Cajon's Street
Stock class in a new Super Street division. Barona could not host
Cajon's premier Late-Model Sportsman division.
Salazar is hoping that 60 cars will be represented at Saturday's
meeting.
"I have never claimed that Barona is the world's greatest track,"
said Salazar, who was upset two weeks ago at some of the comments
from Cajon drivers regarding Barona Speedway.
"Our goal is to make Saturday fun for as many racers and fans as we
can. If the car count and spectators support it, we can run stock
cars at Barona."
Actually, Salazar already does. Barona has a street stock class that
compares roughly to Cajon's bomber stock division.
"Cajon's drivers have been looking for me ever since the announcement
was made that Cajon would not be opening this season," said
Salazar. "We've already got 12 to 15 Pony Stock cars committed. That
probably means there are more out there.
"If we got 15 to 20 cars in each class, we could make it work. And
I've already talked with the drag strip. We'll work together any way
we can. I think we can take care of everyone."
"I think a lot of people will be going to Barona," said Jason
Hollingsworth, who was preparing four Pony Stocks for the aborted
Cajon season. "Some guys might run out of town for a little while.
But once they taste the expense of doing that ...
"Within two years, I'd expect that 95 percent of the Cajon cars that
are still racing, outside of the Sportsman class, will be racing at
Barona Speedway."
Hollingsworth said the expense of transforming his cars from the
asphalt of Cajon Speedway to Barona's dirt surface to be "around $100
per car."
"It's going to be more expensive for other classes like Street Stocks
and probably nothing at all for some cars," said Hollingsworth. "But
the amount is going to be what it takes to tow somewhere else for one
weekend."
Salazar said his tentative plans call for his track to host the
heavier stock cars one weekend and run its traditional fare the next.
If the stock cars opt to run at Barona Speedway, it would mark the
second straight season that the track has tried something new. Last
year, the full-sized SCRA sprint cars opened the season at Barona but
backed out of the agreement after three events because of a lack of
fan support.
A limited-class stock car program has a better chance of success
because the already-formed fan base is closer to the track.
"I'm excited because I think it will work," said Salazar. "All we
need are enough cars to be interested. If we get the cars, we will do
anything we can to make it work."
In addition to the stock cars, Barona will make several other changes
this year.
The Southwest Sprint Car Series will make two appearances at Barona
on May 15 and a two-day event over the Labor Day Weekend in
September. Salazar is also considering splitting his popular Dwarf
Car class into two divisions.
Meantime, Salazar and the promoters of the adjacent Barona 1/8-Mile
Drags are working overtime getting their facilities ready following
this winter's heavy rains. The Summit Series Drags last weekend were
rained out and Salazar said there is considerable work to be done
before the oval opens.
"The access roads are washed out right now," said Salazar. "But if it
stops raining, we'll be ready."
