L.A. COUNTY : Antonovich Backs Plan for Off-Road Park in Gorman

Thousands of off-road vehicle enthusiasts may finally get a place to race--but it could mean having to haul their bikes and buggies to the outermost reaches of Los Angeles County, just five miles south of the Kern County line.
Bowing to unrelenting political pressure and a new staff report, County Supervisor Michael Antonovich has shifted his crucial support for a large off-road park to the most remote of 57 locations considered by the county: the Hungry Valley off-road facility run by the state in Gorman.
Antonovich’s proposal to build a $6-million facility in a portion of Hungry Valley known as Quail Canyon--about an hour’s drive north of the San Fernando Valley--infuriated off-road enthusiasts, who had counted on him to support a park closer to Los Angeles.
