SHEHEEN: A Northern California Gem

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — The first event I worked as a trackside announcer was an American Federation of Motorcyclists race at the California road course now known as Sonoma Raceway.

My announcing position was in an office trailer under a bridge that used to stretch across the front straightaway of the facility’s road course. A few years ago, during track upgrades, the bridge was removed and its whereabouts became a mystery.
