Sheriff knows all the places. Just do it!
Build an eighth mile Dragstrip in the flood control wash.
Spend all the grant money you want . Nothing will happen until you hire more officers to work the night shift and patrol the areas that have street racing.
Until some place is built again for kids to race they don’t have the option to do it anywhere else! I’m not for street racing at all but I feel that we really need to have some type of organized racing area for adults and kids both to join
Its a good idea but way too far fetched for our council
Even if I the city got behind this idea the residents would have a fit about the noise and Etc! Same people that are complaining that the kids are racing on the streets go figure
Giving the criminals a shooting range will change nothing – they will keep being criminals and shooting each other – Street racers same thing – Irwindale Speedway is open but will be closing at the end of this year – Why? not enough clients or interest – Giving welfare to criminals is never the solutions. – These are thugs and criminals, street racing is like playing with a gun in the street and just as dangerous – Thugs and criminals.
How about instead of using the words “criminals” u use “the kids” kids like to play and when they get their liscenses they think its a big play ground. Having a place to do that in a safe and controlled manner is much less dangerous with a safety crew and might draw some business within our community. Imagine having more than 1 performance shop in scv. I know when my boy is old enough im gonna teach him to have fun safely cause legal or not the kids are gonna play
Sorry but the Irwindale drag strip is not closing due to lack of clients. It is closing because they got approval to put an outlet mall in. They are all the rage these days so there is now way a race track can compete.

Shane Weeks If the Money and support were there they would not sale, and in the mean time the Thugs and Criminals have no interest in it. #saveit4thetrack #saveitforthetrack #getyourgearsoon #tshirts

Willy No matter how many clients use Irwindale on a regular basis it will never make as much money as a strip mall, and that’s all the people in charge care about. Take Vegas for an example, they offer “Beat the Heat” where you can take your car for like $10 and drag race against the police themselves, the result? Drastically reduced street racing incidents. The problem is always the bottom line, a kid looking for a cheap thrill isn’t going to spend $100 to drag their friend, they’re going to use an industrial center after dark.
Willy Jay u sir have no idea what u are talking about
Willy Jay bone head
Willy Jay, the drag events are almost always packed. Even if every night was sold out 7 days a week there is NO way a drag strip can make a fraction of the money an outlet mall can make.

Shane Weeks That is still no excuse for street racing
You obviously know how to stop the street racing and I have no clue. Keep up the good work!
Whether there’s an excuse or not, you WILL NEVER stop it. As long as two cars can move people will want to see which is faster. The only thing you can do is have local and affordable venues.
Willy Jay long way out 4 most people and cant handle 4.90 car
Richard Seeder I am not in any contest with you or anyone – My only point is that Street Racing Kills and harms – No one will build a new tract locally ever – Level 1 -2 Murder depending on what happens – I think we all have speed from one degree to another – I think we can teach our children to be safe and not harm or kill each other – just like drinking or drugs – http://www.willowspringsraceway.com/calendar.php?month=10&year=2017
Willy Jay can’t argue safety the street is not a place to race
Laws and punishments have not changed people’s behavior Willy Jay. There is the past 40 years that prove this. They have not gotten any more lenient. On fact in the last 10 years they have become increasingly harsher. Yet there is still an upswing in racing. So what do you propose we do to make the street safer?
Shane Weeks _- “So what do you propose we do to make the street safer?” I do not have a good answer for that, maybe consideration for others and more awareness – not sure yet. Not having a local track is not an excuse to be street racing – people get hurt, killed and go to jail. Street Racing Kills

I hear street racing almost every night near Circle J
Irwindale drag strip/ speedway is shutting down at the first of the year leaving little local opportunity for safe controlled racing in the area.
