Corona, CA: Upscale all-inclusive development finally sees homes

Years ago a developer and architect envisioned plans to connect an upscale retail development in South Corona through lakes and bamboo walkways to housing, creating an all-inclusive mini city that few residents would need to leave for necessities.

But after years of falling home prices and a deflated construction market, bankruptcy and struggling retail sales, that vision was put on hold, until this month. Dirt is moving and grading is underway beside Interstate 15 adjacent to the Dos Lagos retail center for a 93 live-work project, project architect Norberto Nardis said.

The vehicles in the Mario Kart video games have always been way too fantastic for the real world -- until now.

Forty-one Lamborghinis were driven by their owners over the Ortega Highway Sunday, bound for The Links At Summerly Golf Course in Lake Elsinore.

Do the math: That’s around $12.3 million rolling into town.

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki riders Broc Tickle, Josh Hansen and Ben Townley, as well as other Pro Circuit support riders, will be in Las Vegas this weekend for the inaugural Monster Energy Cup at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday. Riders will be competing for a quarter-of-a-million dollar purse, and have the opportunity to race for a $1 million bonus if someone can win all three 10-lap main events during the one-of-a-kind event.

Tickle’s anticipated move to a 450cc bike will take place at Monster Energy Cup. The reigning 2011 AMA Supercross Lites West Region Champion just completed a fantastic season, with one win and seven podium finishes. Part way through the year, Tickle achieved the maximum points allowed in the Lites class, but was fortunate to have the support of Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki, who will help him make the move to the premier level for the 2012 season.

Jake Lewis has been turning heads all season long in the WERA Championship on his Race Tech backed motorcycle, and he stepped over to compete in his final AMA amateur event before heading to the pro ranks at Daytona in 2012. Not even a trip to the hospital could keep Jake Lewis from winning the most prestigious award in amateur roadracing; the AMA Roadrace Horizon Award.

Jake took the track immediately showing the field he meant business. Qualifying fastest each time out and setting a new 600 track record, Lewis set himself up as the favorite for the Horizon Award. After a win the first race out; Lewis went down hard and took a trip to the hospital.

Podium Finish for FAR Husqvarna's Jason Thomas at Powerline Park GNCC

It was no surprise to see Jason Thomas and his TXC250 take the early lead in the XC2 class on his FAR Husqvarna at the Power Line Park GNCC in Ohio. But it was unexpected when he became firmly stuck in a mud hole on the first lap and spent a full two minutes trying to free his bike from the mud.

Thomas put his head down and charged to eighth place by the end of the first lap, and was steadily gaining ground. The FAR team's pit strategy allowed Thomas to only pit once throughout the race, and helped him push all the way back up to a podium position. Thomas had closed to within one minute of second place, but ran out of time and had to settle for third on the day.
