The latest discovery of a magical and mysterious Wapuu species brings mercurial speed to WordCamp Santa Clarita’s racing theme this spring. Returning to the University Center on the campus of the College of the Canyons, all WordCamp attendees will receive pins commemorating the sighting of “Speedy,” a creature legendary in the Santa Clarita Valley thanks to Wapuus Field Guide and Trading Post.
Around 1927, a modest 1/3 mile racetrack was built on a 35-acre plot of land in a then remote area of northern Los Angeles county as a rodeo, then home to open-wheel racing. Soon after, sightings of these agile, elusive, and mysterious creatures were reported in the hills above the grandstands at the Saugus Speedway.
One of these creatures was legendary, Speedy, who was often seen in the roadsters with an uncanny knack for driving and eventually racing. The noise of the races, rapid real estate development, and the grandstands being condemned due to neglect put an end to racing in the nineties.
Recently, reported yet unconfirmed sightings around Magic Mountain, Vasquez Rocks, and tire marks along Bouquet Canyon and Newhall Ranch Roads during spring California Poppy season of these Wapuus have sparked a viral sensation on the Internets. Visit WordCamp Santa Clarita spring 2020 to see it for yourself.
