AUTO RACING

The Camel Grand Prix of San Diego auto race will continue at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for at least another five years after the eight-member board of directors of the 22nd Agricultural District Assn. voted unanimously to extend a contract with race operators. The next race is scheduled Oct. 9-11, 1992, and the contract runs through 1996.
