You go right ahead and keep wearing your tinfoil hat. The reason that this track was shut down is due to poor management decisions. Irwindale Speedway LLC filed for bankruptcy. They weren't paying their bills. A bunch of professional teams and leagues refused to race there because of the retarded rules set forth by track management. If you want to believe it's a conspiracy, then fine, but don't suggest it to any of us that know what really happened.

I say **** it, I've only been to the dale a few times but as dangerous and immature as it sounds,I love that South LA street racing ****. It's usually pretty organized. It's just those stupid kids with their piece of **** Hondas that be killing it. There **** is usually never organized. I guess cause their cars make such little power they feel like they can't do any real damage(besides burning the spot) lame ************* trying to live out there big dog dreams in there little dog cars. **** that. If you can't run with the big dogs stay on the porch.

Open Irwindale Raceway. Drag racing on an approved track is safe.
Keep Drag racing off city streets.
