Track details
Dry sand gets deep and physical - the front wants to knife in; traction comes from throttle and the rear suspension.
Damp sand hooks up and gets faster - more grip, but heavier, blunt braking zones.
Fox Raceway sits on California Highway 76 in Pala and is run by the Pala Band of Mission Indians, that is by the tribe itself rather than by a private promoter. The operator states the facility is open Monday, Tuesday and Friday through Sunday from 9am to 2pm, with gates opening at 7:30am; Wednesday and Thursday are closed because those are the two days the tracks get maintained. Four differently laid out courses cover a range of skill levels, and there is camping for riders staying overnight, a pro shop from Friday to Tuesday between 9am and 3pm, and a trackside Temecula Motorsports support store on weekends. The operator lists the Red Plate Cafe as currently closed. Private rentals and special events have to be requested at least six weeks before the intended date. Pala also hosts the Fox Nationals, a round of the US pro series. Entry and practice fees are not documented on the operator site. Our record has sand as the surface, plus a fast layout with a lot of jumps and technical sections. Sand works against you the longer you stay out: the ruts get deeper, the ground gets choppier, and the rear starts hopping instead of following the line. Top of our cause list for that is rear rebound returning too fast for sand - slow it down, fewer clicks out, so the rear stops pogoing in the deep stuff.
