Update on FireBird

Sounds like great news for your area.
Now, how about trying to find some good news for SoCal drag racers? We'd love to have a quarter-mile track running on a regular basis, and "regular" doesn't mean the NHRA Winternationals every February and Finals in November, both at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona.
Lions is gone.
Irwindale is gone (the current Irwindale is eighth-mile)
OCIR is gone
...and many more before those
