Default Brand new rumored Los Angeles County Raceway (Palmdale) using Banning layout.

Bright and early on Monday morning the Agent got a call from one of his California operatives with a good one. For some time there have been rumors about the closing of Los Angeles County Raceway to facilitate gravel mining sometime in the near future.

But, according to the caller, LACR owner Bernie Longjohn has been secretly buying unwanted land near the existing Palmdale Regional Airport and is rumored to be building a new world class drag racing facility based upon the plans for Drag City in Banning. (What! They're not going to use the plans in Banning?)

The caller also said that, as the new Strip at Perris Auto Speedway, there will be no official sanctioning body affiliation at the rumored new Palmdale strip.

A call to an operative at Building 51 in Palmdale got the Agent this info. LA County owns property adjacent to the Palmdale Airport which isn't zoned for housing and doesn't have enough water for farming, and the county has been looking for someway to develop the land for several years.

According to the Agent's operative, a multi-purpose dragstrip, oval track and road course facility has been seriously discussed by Bernie Longjohn and the City of Palmdale. [7-25-2005]


This is going to be dope. I hope it comes true. Hopefully they won't put the motorcycle track next to it.
