Geez!

POMONA ON CHOPPING BLOCK NOW?

please refrain from politics.....

Just like the people building homes near stockyards. Yuck that stinks move it

Exactly!

I've seen the same thing on small airports, people buy houses near them because they are lower in price than the same size house and yards furter away from the airports and then complain about the airplane making noise taking off and landing

Claiming a slow reduction in public attendance, maybe if they opened it more than twice a year, have a few street car events, mufflers required, registered etc, there would be tons of people there, look at Irwindale on a Matchrace Madness race.

No gasoline in twenty years and no new internal combustion powered cars made after 2035, what will we race?

Soap box derby cars.

I'm surprised the Pomona track has lasted this long.
I lived in SoCal when tracks were being lost one after another, supposedly because of the value of the land, and in a couple cases, arguably due to "noise".
If the LACF is already thinking residential, that track as we know it is doomed, and the equestrian part will likely follow as well.

I thought they announced a while back Pomona was done?

I remember watching racing at the Colton Airport and then watching and racing at Mickey Thompson Fontana drag city in 1964, San Gabreil drag strip, San Fernado Valley track, Lions, Irwindale, L.A.C.R. (AKA Palmdale)) Orange County, Carlsbad, Bakersfield, Indio racing on block off streets and then later in the year out at the Thermal Airport later, Riverside, Big Willeys on the island in San Pedro Harbor and several others tracks I'm probably forgetting about now
My message is there was a lot of drag strips as well as roundy rounder race tracks in SO CA back in the day
Not now

Irwindale and Barona, both 1/8th mile tracks, are the soul survivors.

I've raced at both of them and forgot about them

And, ironically, there's a busy general aviation airport adjacent to Pomona...will it be next?

Who knows, I don't: work:
There are a bunch (15 to 20 or more maybe) of small airports all around the L.A. basin, AKA Inland Empire. Upland to the northeast about 15 miles, Whittier to the west about the same distance Cabol(SP?) Corona and Chino to the southwest and the big commercial Ontario International due east about 20 miles.
Same thing in San Fernado Valley north of L.A., more than 3 small airports.
I do not know how many small airports that are gone now though: whiney:
