THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2002 "The tribal council of the Soboba Tribe of Luiseno Indians, on whose land the motocross facility is built, voted late last week to close the park immediately.

However, Malcolm McCassy and Jim Facciuto, who opened the park this summer after closing the old Competition Park at Ramona Boulevard and Sanderson Avenue, plan to stay open and host the Motocross des Nations as planned.
