The Racecar Driving Experience (driving school) that operated the Thursday night drags has no intention of re-opening the famed Irwindale Speedway 1/2 mile banked track to weekly racing. Those racers will have to sit idle. The race supported businesses, and concession people will have to collect unemployment.
See, the circle track racing cuts into prime Saturday track time for the driving school business. Racing on the 1/2 mile is a conflict of interest to Racecar Driving Experiance (driving school).
