ABOUT THE RACE

The Salinas Sports Complex marked the spot of the Inaugural Salinas TT, the first AMA Pro Grand National Event held on the Central Coast. This venue was located in the Northern portion of beautiful Monterey County, often referred to as Steinbeck Country. The TT was approximately ¼ mile long with a right hand turn and a jump. The track was a cushion track; fast with a long straightaway and a sweeping turn 1. As well as being the 100 year home to the California Rodeo, the Sports Complex has hosted many amateur races over the years. Many of the amateurs who have ridden these races have gone on to become professionals in the AMA Pro Grand National circuit. The complex seated more than 17,000 spectators, from grandstand seats to reserved, elevated box seats overlooking the arena.

This all day, family-friendly event include Rocky Robinson, the motorcycle world land speed record holder (376.363 mph) with his winning streamliner “Ack Attack!”; a visit from the Easter Bunny for the kiddies and an amazing motorcycle show put on by Lorin Guy.
