This December, the stars will align for the rebirth of one of California’s most historic motorcycle races – the Red Bull Catalina Grand Prix. The famed race, which was held between 1951 and 1958, brought thousands of spectators and hundreds of riders to Catalina Island, helping establish it as the bustling tourist destination it is today.

Having grown up on Catalina it is super cool to see this sort of thing. You may not know that Catalina is struggling a bit and things like this are great for its small economy, hope it continues!
