  1. Cathedral Oaks speedway???? I’ve lived in the area for 40 years and while there are occasional speeders, there are a lot more tail-gaters and people driving 10-15 mph the speed limit. Cathedral Oaks/Foothill handles a lot of traffic. I wonder if that comment is by someone who routinely frustrates people by having a long string of vehicles trailing behind his overly slow vehicle but refusing to pull over.
