california speedway is the fontana track. i havent heard of irwindale 1/8
mile closing. pomona has been rumored to be closeing for several years, dont
know when that will actually happen. the city has limited the use of the
track to five events per year. there will be a new track called mopar drag
city http://www.drag-city.com in banning, ca that will be opening sometime
in the future. i think it would be great if NHRA moved out of pomona
fairplex to fontana.
