Wonder if Turkey Night could move back to dirt. Still sad.

I guess it will be, Perris and Ventura seem to be the logical choices.

Dirt is where it started and where it belongs!

Thats the 3rd track in So-Cal to close during the off-season. Orange Show, Victorville and now Irwindale. Its getting scary out here.

kern river raceway is said to be trying to be open sometime this year possiblly,i would guess this will push that opening date up.

I don't see that happening as the changes the fairgrounds have put in place the last couple years has really limited pit space. I do not see how Ventura could accomondate the room for the car counts of Turkey night. Theres barely enough room for the weekly shows.

it need's to come back to The PAS! ! !

Ventura raceway. 100 lapper. Figure out a way to pay 100k to win, and 2k to start.

At least at the small track the little guy with the small motor might squeak one out.

This is as much our (fans) fault as it is anyones. We as taxpayers allow mega-dollars to be used to build and pay for facilities for ball sports. Meanwhile the race-track owner / promoter has to pay for everything out if their pocket. That allows every radio station and television channel to be bombarded with commercials for the Lakers, Clippers, Angels and Dodgers. The race-tracks don't have a chance.
