It wasn't that long ago that someone's rig was stolen
from Stockton, with racecar in tow. No kidding, a
local kid literally got in a guy's tow rig, which
apparently had the keys in the ignition, and took off.
What followed was a high speed chase scene involving a
few autocrossers and the police, and the vehicle and
driver were shortly apprehended. Probably not a lot of
people are aware of just how high the crime level is
in that part of Stockton. It's not a place where you
want to leave anything lying around. The same can be
said about almost anywhere, but in Stockton, that
reality is magnified.
The beautiful irony is that the Stockton Fairgrounds
also hosts, or hosted, gun shows at the same time as
our events, which I always found really comforting.
I'm glad Michael Moore doesn't autocross!
