Santa Maria Speedway XXLD

Santa Maria Speedway XXLD

Unfortunately we are going to cancel the May 11th ProStock, Modified, SprtMod, and Hobby Stock races as we will not have everything ready to our satisfaction. We feel the first night back has to go right and there are a few elements missing that we don’t want to do without. We were planning on an open practice this weekend, but the bottom of turn one is still a bit soft to fully grade the track. There is a lot of new clay back on the track and the shaping is coming along great. We have new reclaimed clay on the bottom ready to be mixed into the track as soon as it is dry enough to work with. May 11 will now be the Open Practice for all big track divisions. The Kart Weekend will still be on Memorial Day Weekend. The whole Pombo Family was here over the weekend working on all corners of the property to get things ready. Work continues every day to get to our new opening night on June 15 with the USCS Sprints, USACWS Midgets, WRA Vintage, and the NMRA TQ Midgets for the Ron Otto Memorial. Thank you to everyone for supporting our work to get racing back at this historic track. You will be hearing the roar of the engines soon!

Here is an updated 2024 Schedule for the Santa Maria Speedway. We are working hard to get next weekend's Open Practice going on schedule, but recent rains has slowed down the track work that the Pombo's have focused on in the past few weeks. Cleanup and track work continues to be open on May 11 for the Tri-State ProStock opener. Thank you for the support and patience as we work to get this track open again for all to enjoy. New website being built and will be available soon. Also, in talks to add at least one or two additional races in the summertime. Stay Tuned!

Check their website for times.

The Color of Air by Gail Tsukiyama

Saturday May 25, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

A book discussion group for readers who like to explore a wide variety of books, from prize-winning fiction in various genres, to newer non-fiction.   

The May book is The Color of Air: a novel by Gail Tsukiyama.  "In Tsukiyama's eighth novel, a small Japanese community on Hawaii's Big Island is thrown into chaos in 1935 when the town's golden boy, Daniel Abe, returns home after several years away on the mainland. His homecoming coincides with the eruption of Mauna Loa, a portentous omen, as the locals have long viewed its seismic activity as the manifestation of the mercurial moods of Pele, the goddess of volcanoes and fire and the creator of the Hawaiian Islands." (BookPage Reviews).   

Copies will be available at Solvang Library.

Firestone - Wine Lab Sunday

Sommelier Billie Rolla will lead a group of wine enthusiasts in “Who Put Butter in my Chardonnay?” that includes a lab activity, small group conversation, and of course, wine!

From Butter-bomb fanatics to ABC (Anything but Chardonnay) diehards, Chardonnay is the loved and love-to-hate varietal. What most people don’t know is that there are many different styles of Chardonnay from creamy, lee-stirred, oaked styles with super aging power to lean, tart and mineral-driven versions or Brunch-worthy sparklers! Come explore the many different flavors of Chardonnay. We’ll whip up some fun labs to discover how some styles get that signature butter!

This experience includes one bottle each of the following wines for guests to take home:

2021 Chalone Vineyard Chardonnay Musqué
2020 Firestone Vineyard Chardonnay, SBC
2021 Chalk Hill Founders Block Chardonnay

Reservation is for parties of 2.
Firestone Cellar Club and FFW Members: $160 per 2 guests
General Public – $200 per 2 guests

D Town Pizza at Coast Range

Available for dine-in and to-go!

Back by popular demand, Chef Ryan Ososky is bringing D Town Pizza back to Coast Range!

Detroit Style Pizza is a square or rectangular pan pizza that was created in 1946.

It is a high-hydration thick “focaccia like” dough that is baked in blue steel pans once used in the automotive industry
as utility trays. Detroit Style Pizza is made with Wisconsin Brick Cheese that bakes and caramelizes to the pan to form the “frico”,
where the cheese meets the crust. The tomato sauce goes on after it’s baked in a “racing stripe” fashion.

Pre-order suggested and available on Tock: https://www.exploretock.com/coast-range---solvang-solvang
