Southern California - no place to drag race in the birthplace of drag racing

What’s funny is I heard a rumor last Saturday while I was at Irwindale, that core samples have been taken and the land is not usable for residential or commercial growth. Could just be a rumor but it made me question all the reasons I thought the track was going away.
The ground under Irwindale is just one giant sand wash :lol: Being so close to the mountains that sand is also occupied by some rather large chunks of aggregate that just rolled with the flow :lol: They have numerous neighbors that specialize in the processing of such material for their use in concrete and asphalt products. I attended the "Last Blast" at the previous Irwindale in the late 70s. Many racers that evening expressed their displeasure with "MILLER BEER SUCKS!" added to their race car graphics :rofl: Few years later their sits a Miller brewery.
