Save Ocean Speedway located at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville, CA. Currently a small group of neighbors have decided that they don't like the noise coming from the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds which includes the racetrack which has been in existence and a part of our history for sixty (60) years!  They claim that the Speedway is a negitive enviromental impact and they have hired legal counsel and threatened to sue the Speedway which would ultimately shut it down. We need your support in letting them know that the Speedway must stay for another 60 years! Please sign the petition!!

The track has been here way longer than them people complaining. Stop trying to ruin 60 years of local history because you moved next to a speedway.
