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.

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...

Bryan....They won't "win"...I am a Debt Free conservative, that retired at 52, self made and with no government help...

While the state was doing everything wrong, I have been doing everything right..

So even the Federal Government does not effect me... they won't win, they will self implode on their policies..They are now...

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.
