Sadly, there was no traditional Saleen Show at their facility in Irvine this year. I know several owners and fans out there who went through withdrawals as September came and passed. By now you probably know Saleen is mixing it up this year, offering something different and exciting with activities to coincide with Fun Ford Weekend in Fontana, CA. Join SCOA as we take part in several events with Saleen, Inc. throughout the weekend.
Friday 19th After The Races: Meet and Greet at the Saleen Trailer at Cal Speedway
If you will be at California Speedway already, racin’ or watchin’, come hang out with Saleen Speedlab personnel and the JDM Engineering race team for casual food and conversation.
