Default Irwindale Dragstrip Today - **VIDEO IN HD**



I've never been out to the Irwindale Drag Strip, and I'm thinking about heading out there today.

The schedule doesn't have dates, and just says "Thursday"... do they race EVERY week?

Lots of fun and track prep is usually very good. You should be able to get atleast 3 runs in...

I left about 8:00, track sucked. Haven't been able to hook up the few times I've been there? On my last pass I was getting ready to exit the track and I see this guy drive onto the track, I was flashing my lights and got him to stop, he said he was lost so I had him follow me off the track. I've seen people back up to the 1st exit but I've never seen anyone drive back on the track from the exit! WTF are you thinking!

Yah, I talked to him for a while, can't remember his name though. Seems like his car runs good for the mods.

Wow, your car runs strong. I remember seeing you there. Do you go regularly? I'll probably see you there next time they run.
