Irwindale raceway in SoCal is shutting down.

Not sure if it has been posted yet.
Last call in mid December.
Making way for more shopping...

Another one bites the dust. Bandimere in Denver just closed too, developers closed in. They are supposed to open a new track, possibly east of Denver, but nothing concrete yet. No more Mile High Nationals for the foreseeable future

I heard that..... that sucks! Lots of history gone.

Irwindale has been on the chopping block to be closed for a long time. I think it was a combo of noise complaints from neighbors and also the demand for real estate.

As for Bandimere closing, that was mostly because of noise complaints, as the neighborhoods started to encroach on the raceway. I grew up with that raceway right at my doorstep (in Morrison), and it was great. I have heard that the family is trying to find another location, so let's hope that they can.
