Straight off the L.A.C.R. Myspace Website

On Friday June 1st 2007 there will be a “Save LACR Rally” in front Los Angeles County Raceway; the “Save LACR Rally” is for anyone who is as passionate about the closing of another Drag Strip in L. A. County and putting “More Street Racers” (our kids) back on the streets as we are! The "Closing of Los Angeles County Raceway" will effect the community at large, but most of all our "Young Adults"!

I'm sure that like all of us you are concerned with the “Street Racing” problem that exists today in our society, this is brought home every time we pick up a newspaper or tune in to the local news, and are informed of another accident as a direct result of “Street Racing” with more loss of “Life and Property”.

LACR has been serving the communities in Los Angeles County for over 40 years; it has been a “Landmark” that has not only generated revenue for the County of Los Angeles but the Cities of Palmdale and Lancaster in particular. It's been the home to numerous associations, including the So Cal Pro Gas Assoc., So Cal Super Street Assoc., Pontiac Drag Days, SCEDA, The Buick Grand National Club, So Cal Super Comp Assoc., the West Coast Corvette Challenge, American Nostalgia Racing Assoc., Road Kings and Early Riders Car Clubs, LACR is also home to the Motion Picture Driving Clinic ( Hollywood Stunt School ) just to name a few.

LACR is host to major events through out the year including, The Antique Nationals, the World Jet Finals, The Annual Ratfink Party, and The Annual Big Rigs 4 Kids Charity Truck Drags & Show and the IDRC Finals, along with other NHRA divisional events

Most of all it has given our “Young Adults” and “Race Fans” a “Safe” and “Legal” place to race rather than the city streets.

Due to the “Mining of Aggregate” by “Granite Construction” next door to LACR, the Drag Strip is doomed unless you help!

There needs to be at the “Vary Least a Moratorium” on the digging to allow “Local Governments” (City and County) to come up with an alternative!!

Be there Friday June 1st at 6pm and show your support, we need everyone to show up, Racers, Kids, Parents, Law Enforcement, City Officials and everyone else. There is strength in numbers so “Let's Unite” and let them know what LACR means to the community!!


I'm going to go who else in?

count me in!

 

dunno if it will help but ill be there

 

the reason there closing the track is cuz it sucks there, you cant even hook the damn car

 

 

It's not the tracks fault, blame the azzholes(I Think Granite Constr) digging holes & piling dirt 50ft high right next to the track

 

LACR is doomed anyways. My thought is we have one less 1/4 mile track now. Someone needs to get some $$$ and open a REAL track. Any news on the so called "Banning" track?

 

hey man . . hope u do roll out ur cars pretty sick . .

 

they "broke ground" on it but then again they've been saying that for years

 

damn, ill try to make it...but it does suck there... bakersfield (famoso) is waaaaay better.

 

^^^ +1 worth the drive.

 

i heard u lost

 

im pretty sure the highway is much more important than a racetrack in a poor location

 

ill be there car is down right now broke my new moser 9 should be back up and running tomorrow

 

how the hell do u break a 9?

 

With real power you dweeb.

P.S.: can't go have work til 11pm. Plus, i used to live less than 2 miles away for about 12years and never really like that track.

 

Even though it's not the best track to go to, it's the closest track we have to go to. I do want to go to Formoso eventually but thats still a trek from northridge and some of my club members live in torrance and inglewood.

Formoso is just not a fesable track to goto on a friday night after work.

Then we have Fontuky. Last I checked no matter what you do, you only get 3 passes. Thats sucks.

Irwindale only has a 1/8 mile. That sucks also.

So what are we left with where you can get 5 or more passes in?

BTW out of all the times that I've been there, I've never really had any big problems with the track. I know GME still goes there from time to time and I've seen a few other car clubs and people from all the message boards I frequently am on going there.

Anyhow for us in the valley LACR is the closest 1/4 worth while to drive out to, to have a good time IMO.

 

Nothing against that specific track i guess, maybe i just don't like any track that much.

 

I don't really like the track much myself, But it's not crowded, takes 10 minutes tops to go through tech, Our club runs there & it's 1/4 mile..The more tracks they shut down the more street racing there will be.
