I never went to it so I can't comment on that.
I heard there is a non-disclosure agreement signed by all employees that is in effect til 5pm tonight. There are 3 parties involved in negotiations to take over operation and/or ownership of the track. Lucas Oil is one of them, the original people that put the plans in place and one other well known person!
All vendors have to have all of their equipment removed by today as well!

Well, it is OFFICIAL!
2012 Racing Season has been CANCELLED!
There are so many rumors right now that no one truly knows what is going on. There are rumors as well as the track expanding to 3/4 mile to accommodate Nascar Truck Series etc.

PS. People need to start twisting the ears at Auto Club Speedway, Perris Auto Speedway www.PerrisAutoSpeedway.com to run a weekly Test and Tune session on either Thursday, Friday nights!

They should take down that sorry 1/2mi track and build a road course. Road course tuesdays and thursday drags..weekends too. Thatll be tight. Better than than driving 2hrs to Willow Springs.
The rock quarry needs to close already and let Irwindale take the land over and extend to what it once was.
Ok so I started a facebook page for it. http://www.facebook.com/groups/29849...if_t=group_r2j I am trying to see if we can save the track. Lets hope we can get interest to keep them from getting rid of another SoCal track.

Well I hope Forrest Lucas takes control of it. He's done lots of improvements to Indy since aquirring the sponsorship of the facility.
That would be Insane, but kinda small with not to much elevation changes. Would be like Adams.
That can be solved. Thats what dump trucks are for. I'd be there every week if there was a road course but yeah, it would have to be way bigger than adams. Using the land covered by the 1/2mi track and a big chunk of the parking lot would help.

Damn it, we ran out of places to keep some of the racing insanity at the track.
I used to go to Fontana, but between 1 million ricers on T&T days, and the 6:00am time you have to be there to avoid teching before 1 million Hondas, i have no intentions of going to that track anymore.
Irwindale became the natural choice, and being i could be there after office hours, made it perfect to have fun every Thursday night.
Wonder what the racing crowd would do ? Famoso perhaps ? i've never been there, but i just checked their schedule, Feb 18-19 test and tune, $50 car and driver, $15 to spectate ??? WTF is wrong with this people ?

I can already see it happening....street racing jumping up 50%. Which means a lot of idiotic kids racing their little hondas with a bike rack, intake and exhaust. Most of which will be driving like idiots and pulling out of a street while two other cars are racing which will end up real bad. This will in turn attract attention from law enforcement who will then start cracking down hard on street racing.
It just sucks all the way around. What they need to do is build a 1/4 mile track in L.A. and be done with it.

Famoso is way out in the middle of bumfuck Egypt. It's not fast/convenient/cheap for people to get to, especially for people who trailer their cars. It's also not open at night, although I could be wrong.
