The charity's drop-off station at the Rose Bowl was relocated Friday to Santa Anita's south parking lot. Southern California Edison is using its entire north parking lot as a hub to restore power to people in affected areas. This truck works with other organizations requesting space.
Saturday and Sunday morning practices will be held as scheduled. The truck has its own security staff and does not use local first responders for typical events.
Rescheduled dates for postponed races will be announced at a later date.
