you would think a track would make a hell of a lot of money....filing after 300,000 in debt doesnt seem right to me!

I know what your talking about.I have a friend who use to race and teach school there he told me it cost so much to own and operate a race car that alot of people stop going to race.I had a chance to own a race car and was offered to get a spot on a team ,but they told me i was "TO FAT" and unless i lost 150 pounds they could not put me in a car due to the safety seats being so small.. so i bought a scion and the rest is history

I hope you know that a new track will be opening in Carson, California. It is by Porsche and people can test drive any car there as well as there own.

From what I understand, the dragstrip at California Speedway also closed down? But I think it is just temporary? It sucks that Irwindale closed, they had good racing there, but that is what happens when a major sponsor leaves.

I am thankful that the track here in Kern County is finally back on track to be completed. A new financial group took over the project and the track is projected to be finished by the end of the year.
