Theres the california speedway in fontana but they are not having open race day til like after june and theres the speedway in palmdale. All through the year irwindale has the 1/8 mile strip on every thursday.

 
Rep Power: 350

Theres also Palmdale, but I have never been there and I dont know what their schedule is exactly. Bad part about there has got to be the heat of course, but then again Fontucky isnt the greatest place to run either.

well i really like irwindale thats pretty cool and it is not alot of people so u can get some decent amount of runs in. LACR that is way 2 far.

 
Rep Power: 403

irwindale is 1/8....


they should make a track closer in the LA area...!!!

 
Rep Power: 0

yea i dont really want to go to a 1/8 track and lacr is too damn far.

 
Rep Power: 0

i know irwindale is 1/8 but too many go to california speedway WAY TOO MANY DOMESTICS I dont like to wait that long

 
Rep Power: 323

I feel ya .it sux having to be there all day and night for just 3 or 4 runs.

 
Rep Power: 285

if you like imports, go to LACR. its dominated by imports, and most the domestics are actually fast (11's or better).

Plus, i would have some friends to hang out with in this damn place. If anyone goes to LACR, let me know. I may go out there.

 
Rep Power: 0

Uhh, those numbers seem a little to optimistic, just like these do:

1998 Isuzu Amigo [0-60]: 8.0 [1/4 mile]: 16.10

You might have beat them b/c of your launch advantage, but a C320? I dunno... are you sure they were trying?

 
Rep Power: 0

I dunno man, theres a freakin grip of imports at Cali speedway too. Last time I went there were like 11ty billion hatches there...

 
Rep Power: 0

Really when was this? Whenever I go I see Domestics practically ruling the place and I saw some 7thgens out there doing 20sec passes. I was so let down. I would love to go to LACR but that is just way too harsh on my car to drive there and race.

 
Rep Power: 0

If you were already there, why didn't you just run?

Damn dude 20 sec. And I thought me being 16.2 was slow.

 
Rep Power: 0

The wait is way too long for california speedway and I get frustrated in line thats why I didnt run. Also I get extremely nervous and mess up at the end. In a weird way racing on the track is way scarier than at the streetraces for me atleast.

 
Rep Power: 0

It's better to go at the end of the season.

No need to get nervous. The worst thing that could happen is people in the stands laugh at you. Though whenever I pull up next to anything in primer, I know I'm screwed.

Are you talking about the streetraces in Ontario? That's fun sometimes but there are a lot of slow cars and I've seen some stupid *** sh*t there. Once I saw races at opposite ends of a road being flagged into each other. Bunch of morons. The best thing I've seen at the races was once there was this chick in mustang convertible showing off her nipple piercings. Definitely don't see that at the track.

 
Rep Power: 0

yea the c320 was trying. but it wasnt that long of a stretch, only about 1/8 mile i know he wouldve caught me as soon as i got into 4th. he was suprised i got him on the luacnh and through 1st and 2nd. i know he'll beat me though.

I am trying to get more used to the track but man it is a hard transition and it seems like so much attention is on you
