Closing Down of our Race Tracks
 

I live in Souther california and in less than two weeks they have shut down 2 great race tracks. One is Irwindale Race way[due to thef] and the other [today] is the Dragway at California speedway. People in and Around the area are compalining about the noise. Again the Minority win the mayority of innocent people who love the hobbie and have no other place to go? Its a sad day for us car guys.....

Here is a link about it http://www.dragzine.com/news/pending...rarily-closed/

Seems stupid to me. If you been there been before it is just on the old Fontana Steel lot. It is barren around there if you ask me. :rolleyes:

California....:faint: I'd really like to say what's on my mind but I don't want to mame any women and children.:lol:

the very end of the article you posted says exactly what my first thought was after reading this.

i wish i had four hands so i could give calli 4 thumbs down!!!!!:( :( :(

I just don't understand things like this being affected.
Its like airports that have no fly zones around certain neighborhoods. The airport or drag strip was there first, if you don't like it don't move next to it and complain. There should be a law that stops this ****. It cost us tax payers money.

As a Native Californian of 52 years, I am saddened at the State of the State...

I am just retired, and I have no ties to the State anymore...

I have the Cars, I and the Wife may leave this cesspool someday...

That means "they" win...

Not California but I feel a worse pain. My only local track was closed down at the end of the summer, my track club is now gone, no more practise facility.
Total bummer. Nothing in the works to replace it.:(
(the city owned and leased the land for many years and took it back for a landfill)
A race track in a climate where the reality is it only gets six months of use is just not a viable business.

Agreed! Same crap happened at Pomona......
