Ah, the ACE train. I'm not sure where it stops, somewhere in the center of
town, right?
Have you taken a look? Isn't there a retirement community not too far away?
Also, just up the hill are some expensive homes that would get a very good
view, and hear any noise we create. Also, Pleasanton is very green, and
requires lots of trees and berms in any parking lots in and around town.
Very attractive, lousy for autocross.
Hate to be a pessismist...
Unless you know who runs the ACE train, the real person, and have close
social ties with him/her, I don't think this is possible.
