Is Fontana drag strip closed?

I heard they lost the court battle for now

So no National Open JUN 18 + 19

The guy lives next to a major freight train yard and he used to live next to a giant steel mill but oh no the drag strip is too noisy

Justice is served once a gain

bad news truly in Fontana California, I visited the region for the 1999 NHRA Winston World Finals.
We are still fighting for a track on Long Island w the 100footdrags.com racing here we are trying to over fill them so they let us use Grumman/Calverton. 2 runways and 5 taxiways, sitting for decades now unused for the most part.
Good Luck southern Cali.

I am suprised you guys can't get Riverhead to put a 1/8 mile in parking area , they have room. Otherwise with taxes and land values seems like the island is lost cause for racing unfortuneatly. Sad , when I remember three dragstrips and three ovals.
