Racing Fans Rejoice! Grand Prix in Two
Weeks
Just Up the Road, Racing History Begins Again
A well-known
fact regarding Huntington Beach residents is the presence of a large community
of car enthusiasts. It does not take the many car shows alongside
the beaches or at Huntington Beach Central Park and other locales in the city
to make this obvious, one can simply spend a half hour driving around town and
by observation find a larger than usual density of classic cars and souped-up
vehicles. Already part of the landscape and personality of Huntington
Beach, and part of its charm, is the aficionados of the motor vehicle as a form
of art. What these individuals no doubt know, as well as many other
residents who are not necessarily as vehicular-inclined but like myself enjoy
exciting events packed with raw energy, is the joy of being in close proximity
to the historic Long Beach Grand Prix running April 19th – 21st.
For racing
fans of all types in Southern California, the Long Beach Grand Prix now in its
39th year, represents
a similar exhilaration as a chance to run with the bulls. Granted, you’re
not actually out there on the track testing driving mettle with literally the
best drivers in the world, but from nearly every vantage point you can find it certainly
feels like you could be. Racing fans from around the world converge on a
town roughly 15 miles from Huntington Beach; a pleasant drive up Pacific Coast
Highway. The nearby international racing event underscores yet another of
one of the many benefits of living in Huntington Beach: proximity to amazing
events and locales apart from those already within the city. If it is
amazing and happening within Southern California, but not in Huntington Beach,
rest assured you can likely get there from Huntington Beach.
The Long
Beach Grand Prix features the IndyCar Series, with racing luminaries like
Scott Dixon, Marco Andretti (with a last name synonymous with racing) and
Graham Rahal on the historic 1.97-mile, 11-turn seaside street
circuit. Call (888) 82Speed or 562-981-2600 for more
information. With your plans to attend any one of the racing events over
the weekend (Sunday April 21st is
the actual race day), make it a point to speak to me about making nearby
Huntington Beach your home! We may see eachother at the races, but it
will be difficult to speak over the sound or roaring engines and screaming
fans.
