Misspelled by me Samoa, really need to proofread more Its in Eureka, awesome scenery for sure as the track is on the peninsula between Humboldt Bay and the Pacific. Its right next to the Eureka Airport, should be right up your ally Cab I have some friends who run the bracket program up there. http://www.samoadragstrip.com/

Thanks Al for the help on its location I thought it was further south. I didn't know it was their. I've flown into that airport several times while working for my old job, it was always foggy on landings and take offs I'm confusing it with another closed track down there with a different name

I didn't go to the track here (Firebird) at all this year. The virus rules made them do all sorts of stuff like limited amount of cars and stupid gate prices for the events they did get to run. I know someone who did race a few times and attendance was way down. I bet they were lucky to break even let alone make a profit. Hopefully it will bounce back. . the club series, when it did finally get started was well attended. Kungflu did hurt them in the pocket book early on with canceled events.

Wow. I read this stuff and find it hard to understand. 40 million people in California, great weather, and tracks cant stay open No where near as many people in Ohio, Michigan area, way more tracks, way worse weather, and tracks rock. Dont get it. Californians must not support drag racing We support racing here well, they said it came down to, they made more money running the road course instead of drag racing, the 2 are connected.

How many drag strips does California have? I know we have 7 in Michigan for 10 million residents. Ohio has 12 with 12 million residents, Indiana has 9 tracks with 7 million people, just to list tracks in this area, and they sit closed not making a dime half the year because of weather. California has 40 million people, i would expect they should have tons of tracks if people support drag racing

You need to remember that not all California like racing of any sorts, even though the roots of NHRA started here back in the 1940 and 1950s. Dang the enviormentlists (SP?) We need to take all of them out into the desert and tie them to the pucker bushes and use them for snake and Coyote bait or take them to the forests and tie them to the trees and use them either bear or cougar bait

Blaming environmentalists is a cop out. The fact is that the land is worth more for housing than for racing. Too many people want to live here, unfortunately - and they multiply like rabbits. I put the blame where it belongs, the environmentalists in SO CA have been involve in every race track, not just drag strips, and private or small community airports closed in SO CA since the late 1960s I haven't been by the old Lion Dragstrip near Long Beach, CA in a lot of years but others I have talk to say it is still there with freight container stack up all over the property is was built on and owned by the port of Long Beach. They, the port commissioners, closed it due to noise complaints Your correct about growth, urban sprawl, causing a lot of those closures due to people trying to move further away from congestion, high density developments, crime and pollution Time to close the borders and force all the illegals out to cure some of our problems like these
