Goodbye CA Speedway

[750H.P.V6]

It seems that 1/4 mile drag racing in So Cal is officially dead. CA speedway has been sold.

As usual.... The money talks.
We lost the Atlanta Dragway to a 300-acre industrial park.

We had a scare at NED last year but the stockholders held fast and did not sell. Got all new management. People are liking the new style and I see plenty of upside for the track now that good people are running it.

Factor in a 5-6 hour drive if you plan to do any 1/4 mile racing. There is still an 1/8th mile track at Barona. It's a fun place to race but due to the altitude and the fact it gets hot as balls in the summertime not year round. I'm not sure what the current status of Irwindale is, they always seem to walking on egg shells.
