My mom grew up there so we would visit my grandparents. My grandfather had a sweet shop...ice cream and home made chocolates.
I only went to the track once but there is another AC member who raced at Watkins. 
I just moved up here but I plan on going to the track, opening day is coming up and then... the vintage car races! I'm dying to put my Shelby on that particular course. Or god-forbid, I'll have to build another race-only old-school VW Scirocco... Oh the horror!
