Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, CA
Boasting 40,000 permanent grandstand seats, 20,000 of which have seat backs, and a 14,600-square-foot tower complete with corporate suites and a modern press center, the track's entire 1,320-foot racing surface was repaved in 2001 to extend the concrete launchpad from 330 to 660 feet. In 2006, luxury VIP box suites were built atop the east-side grandstands.

Carlo you're in charge of this one bro. Let's just take out the confusion and you call the time place and date. It doesn't look like we are getting anywhere with this bro.
Can we all agree on this?

No, I am referring to the track in Pomona, CA about 5 miles from my house. The track can be rented for special events. The only dates that it will be used is Nov. 13-16 2008.
There is also a local lake 2 miles away where you can fish, swim, waterski, BBQ etc..
Hmmm I thought that the track was only open for the winternationals due to the noise ordinance. I wasn't aware that they changed the rules there.black pearl said:
If it is open then that would be a great place to do it.

You might want to talk to the community of La Verne...They are the nice ol folks that complain about the street racing and also complain about the track noise..
For the last 60 years Fontana, California, has been known primarily for its steel mills, factories, and truck stops. Sure, back in the late '60s through the early '70s drag racing had a home about 60 miles east of Los Angeles at Fontana Drag City. But up until the mid-'90s the only sound of revving engines came from the Santa Fe train yard, or diesel trucks huffing their way north on the Cajon Pass.
All that changed in June of 1996 when California Speedway opened its doors to the flourishing racing sanctioning body known as NASCAR. Before then, Californians had to travel east to Phoenix, Arizona, to get their fix of the left-turn-only circuit. During this time Winston Cup Racing was becoming huge, and new racing stars were developing literally overnight.
The crowd was out in full force to witness the action of the Aeromotive Nitro Coupe Challenge.
This was great for the roundy-round fans, but the straight-line racers were left out in the "Fontucky" cold ("Fontucky" [Fontana+Kentucky] was coined by people living west of the 15 freeway who think they have more culture than their neighbors just east of the 15 freeway. Fontana folks: feel free to send hate e-mail to [email protected]).
In February of 2001, San Bernardino County officials were seeking a street-legal dragstrip in hopes of providing street racers with a place to drag race-legally, and more importantly, safely. In June of 2001 Speedway President Bill Miller, NHRA founder Wally Parks, and President Tom Compton announced plans to construct a dragstrip to accommodate NHRA's Street Legal Racing Program.
This was great timing for the Southern California drag racing community, as Pomona Raceway's Street Legal Program had been shut down years earlier due to strict noise constraints by the nearby City of La Verne and its local blue hairs.
Within about four months, Parking Lot No. 1 at California Speedway was transformed into California Dragway, a first-class drag racing facility dedicated to serving Southern California's local drag racers. The strip was originally built for street racing. However, due to the lack of dragstrips on the West Coast, NHRA decided to include the track as a legitimate stop on the Division 7 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series.
In late 2005, the folks at California Speedway shocked the local drag racers by announcing the closure of California Dragway in order to make room for a Speedway expansion that included new eateries and open areas to create a more fan-friendly NASCAR experience. Unfortunately that area was pit space for the dragstrip. Suddenly the property, over 500 acres, got a little tight and drag racers got the bad end of the shrinking real estate.
.
For a few months it appeared that quarter-mile racing would once again be taken away from Southern California. Fortunately for the thriving drag racing community John Force regularly used the strip as a training ground for his three daughters to gain seat-time in their respected Super Comp and Alcohol dragsters. His influence, with the help of AAA, convinced California Speedway to consider building another dragstrip along the outskirts of the north parking lot. Within a few months a new, and even better, dragstrip was in place and Street Legal drag racing was up and running once more.
