It’s a sorry outlook for the west. That has been the only facility running a weekly schedule. More than one local shop and their customers relying on that to do what they do. Makes me want to move. Oh right! I am 🙄
You're moving? Where?

Folks went to Irwindale from Utah regularly?

Vero Beach, FL. To race full time with Redeye Racecars. For me…. Vegas is 100 miles. Irwindale is 300 miles. Bakersfield is 450 miles. Phoenix is 500 miles. Irwindale has been the only track that runs weekly. The rest are occasional track rentals or scheduled events.

Even my podunk town had this happen to our short track.

The owner didn't want to sell. Maybe she thought the kids would continue to run it. Nope.
She died and a few months later it was all sold. For a car wash, a strip mall, and an unnamed box store. All of which we have several of in the area.

So glad Byron Dragway held out for an owner/s that wanted to operate it.
Byron is an interesting track. Been there a few times

I ran my first 9.80's in the 2018 Demon there............Super cool track that had ownership pride big time and you could tell the racers were treated right. 0922180924_HDR.jpg 0922181050b_HDR.jpg

That track is close by me and always loved it. That "feeling" of racing down hill.

When BJ put it for sale (and I believe Ron was still alive but maybe sold his share to BJ at that point), the forest preserve came in and offered him his asking price almost immediately.

He turned it down.
Took a few years. Even advertised it on an alcohol (maybe even nitro) funny car at Route 66 race one year.
Was finally able to find buyers.

Its hard to keep going with young kids in several activities but we make a point to at least go to one of their shows.
Went to wheel stand practice and their night of thunder.

Some day, I'll get another bracket car together. I'm probably 5-10 years away.
