"Party Zone" retrospective
FAIRGROUNDS- For more than a decade the lawn east of the pavilion has been known as the "partyzone" annually at the Gold Cup as Placerville Driver Dave Angus and company set up camp for the four day event.

Yesterday afternoon Dave and the Placerville Speedway gang completed construction of their own Gold Cup museum complete with a roof and front door. This project is a must see for campgoers with a series of photos depicting the many good times here at the cup.

"We’re having trouble getting people to come through the door, since last year it sprayed water," said Angus. "that’s not the case this time, we want people to visit."
