That and the tracks charge money and alot of street racers spend all of their money on stickers and neons.

Palmdale wasnt the best kept track but at least it was a 1/4 track open more than one saturday a month

famoso is the best 1/4 we have

just trailer your car just in case.

i have ran at all of southern cali's 1/4s and i can say famoso at bakersfield is the best.
palmdale sucked and is close down, fontanas prep sucks and is known for hondas screwing up the track by leaking fluids and using cheap *** Costco Kirkland brand drag radials lol
and pomona is used only for top fuel cars.
