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.

"Irwindale, Calif. (February 13, 2012, 1:30PM ) - - The management of Irwindale Speedway today announced that the 2012 racing season has
been cancelled."

Sad deal! Turkey Night back to dirt for sure, hopefully!

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.
