VH-KDK Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Foothill Freeway runs from Sylmar to Redlands in the LA metropolitan area. We will follow the freeway to San Bernadino. 1. Leaving the make believe world of the plastic celebs and entering the real world at Cahuenga Peak with the famous sign. No pics of leaving KBUR as I thought I had a problem with the Orbx scenery but of course I forgot this was not available in XP! Another DUH moment. 2. Santa Anita park at Arcadia. This is a thoroughbred racetrack and holds several major events such as the Santa Ana Derby and Handicap. The freeway can be seen above the race course with the San Gabriel Mountains. 3. The Irwindale Speedway and Event Centre has been in and out of bankruptcy since opening in 1999. Currently leased and planned to be open until the end of 2022 but it's future after that is doubtful especially as the land is owned by developers 4. The California Speedway at Fontana has ran NASCAR races since 1997 and did run Indycars until 2015. It has a capacity of 122,000 5. To the north of San Bernardino we say goodbye to the Foothills Freeway which can be seen crossing the San Bernardino Freeway centre left. Now changing direction to the NW to head up Cajon Pass. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
