The next round of the 2008 WORCS series will
head to the milder climate of Hollister, CA, which
is located approximately 50 miles SE of San Jose.
The nationally recognized track consists of rolling
hills in the upper GP section and thick trees
in the lower part. The track is groomed and maintained
year round and the mid-May date of the 16th-18th
should bring good weather, so conditions should
be pleasant for all skill levels.
