This isn't a permanent closure, street legal and jr dragsters can still race until the sound wall is built. We just have to sit tight until they get things straightened out.

HAHA california dosn't want street racing and now we can race in the track legally and safely? WTF are we supposed to do now? This ****** state is run by ****** retarded, tree hugging, fart smelling hippies. No wonder this state is so fucked compared to the rest of the states in this country.

PSCA will likely be affected.
The sound wall has been a topic for some time now, and was a condition of approval for their Conditional Use Permit - required to keep operating at this point, with the cars using the facility eclipsing the db limit regularly.
Auto Club has too much money invested in this to let it fall by the wayside. The conditions will be fixed and the track operations will be expanded.

I used to live across Arrow Highway from the track. Street legals were never a noise issue I could remember. Now once they were testing a new Mercedes for 24 hours. The Mercedes could be heard across Baseline that was loud. Street legals are not loud. Yes the neighbors should care more for the big rigs and dump trucks parked all over the place and the proliferation of junk yards in the area. Just my .02.

This doesn't make sense. The Nascar races and other oval racing is way louder than drag racing. It seems to be more of an attack on the car culture and car enthusiasts. I have raced out there in my old truck and had a blast. This is also where I saw a diesel Chevy HD truck hit a quarter mile in the 12's along side a 97-04 Corvette.
Where are people supposed to go now? On the street so local police and cities can generate revenue?

Agreed, require a db rating and enforce it. Im sure guys would rather put mufflers on their cars than to not race at all.

In the times I've attended events there whether it be the oval or the strip NASCAR, INDY, Moto GP, drag racing etc. some racing can be heard as far away as the 10 and the 210 freeway. I've been hearing for years about Fontana expanding the drag strip and the local residents are mostly industrial businesses railroad tracks which is why I can't understand them closing the strip part.
My favorite strip was Pomona when they had the Street Legal drags but the community in the immediate area with million dollars homes got fed up with the noise and shut local small time racers fun down. I can understand the complaints when NHRA is in town cause the db levels can make your ears bleed.
