Re: FONTANA closing
There have been rumors floating around for a while about this. Last I heard the tower was going to be moved/replaced. Pretty stupid if it happens if you ask me.

Re: FONTANA closing
This will be auto club dragways last big event of the year. Therrs a dispute about noise levels from the nearby residential area. They are cancelling psca and other major evemts for the year. A wall will be put up and should reopen for next season. There could be other developments and deta.ils but that is all i know

Re: FONTANA closing
This is freaking pathetic............ Stupid sissy as people and the morons who grant all their wishes.
That's why California and if you ask me all the U.S. is in the shape its in.... From all the sensitivity that floats around - Everyone is scared to upset anyone - so we all budge. Grrrrrr
I would tell those complaining. "The track was here before you, you should have known the consequences" - "now, here are some earplugs, or get the f__k out!" - But no....... Since no one wants a lawsuit, they'll comply.

Re: FONTANA closing
Wil, Any idea if/when this info is going to be public (online)? So all street legals and the night races are cancelled as well?
I guess they didn't think moving the track closer to the mountain would cause more noise. It's not like they really let us race that late anyway.

Re: FONTANA closing
Damn you guys are losing another track. I was out for a year in 99 had tracks every where, then went back in 08 in damn near half those tracks are closed. My man is now driving from san bernandino to s.r because they have better events.
Why are you guys losing tracks like this cant be money. Because ya race season is damn near year around?. I thought cali held more street racers than anybody else? So why would tracks close like this?. I think closing tracks only makes streetracing bigger. Then again dont ya get crazy jail time n lose your license til you 80yr old?

Re: FONTANA closing
i was told if every racer goes a sign a petition when it gets to a point that if enough racers sign we can keep the track. this happen in kansas and all the racers showed up to court. this is our last 1/4 track thats close by. closing this track will only make street racing worse. they dont like street racers but they close every track we have.

Re: FONTANA closing
Hopefully, the track puts the information out so we can show up. We need folks from all over so cal to show up so we can save the drag strip.

Re: FONTANA closing
Will still have FAMOSO RACEWAY which in my opinion is one of cali's best tracks that i have been too. Its only 2hrs away been there plenty of times an has test n tune almost every friday, FONTANA may be closer but they were hardly ever open for the RACERS TNT so its not gonna effect me in anyway.

Re: FONTANA closing
last time i went to sac i broke on the first pass and had other problems the whole day. mostly because there was nowhere else to test the car..
it gets really old driving far as fk for the car to run like **** because there's nowhere to test it..
bakersfield is closer to us but still about 2 hours away. but better than nothing i guess. hopefully we can keep some kind of track open around here.
