Yes it was confirmed they're staying open 4 at the minimum of one more year and probably longer.. it was like a night of Celebration they have never prepped so well at Irwindale.
Just about everybody clicked off a new best tonight I wish I would have had the car out

It's for real. The contract was being signed while the racing was happening. It was a fun night. Everyone was in a great mood. boogie

that's good to hear.... only prob with a "year to year" deal, is any probs they may have won't likely get addressed. Either way.... great it's staying put.

What is 1.10? I know he won't be thrilled with the 6.40.

The tech guy that inspected my car swore that it was a multi-year thing at minimum but who knows.
