Closed dragstrips

Raced on: Old Irwindale and Orange County International Raceway (OCIR)
Crewed at: Famoso (Bakersfield) and Los Angeles County Raceway (LACR/Palmdale)


It's hard to believe that the L.A. area, at one time the center of the hot rodding world, with TEN million people in the area, doesn't have a dragsrip within a hundred miles with a regular schedule.
^^^ Although the former center of the hot rodding world, the population and the value of land for housing, commercial and industrial use is the reason there are no local dragstrips. It's the same reason for the demise of all other racing venues in the area, including what were the outstanding Indy/NASCAR oval tracks in Ontario and Fontana.
