vintage advertisement for sports car road races held at the Cotati Raceway on Sunday, May 26th. Historical sources indicate this event likely took place in the late 1950s or early 1960s at an old, abandoned Naval Auxiliary Airfield.
Event Details
Location: The races were held at the Cotati Raceway
, which was located at the former Naval WWII Airfield near Santa Rosa, California.
Date: The poster advertises the event for Sunday, May 26th. The exact year is not specified on the poster, but the era is confirmed to be mid-20th century.
Track Type: Unlike the original Cotati Speedway, which was a banked wooden oval track that closed in 1922, the "Raceway" used the runways and taxiways of the decommissioned airfield as a temporary road course.
Sanctioning Body: Advertisements for similar events mention the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) as the sanctioning body.
