The news that Irwindale Speedway, also known as the Irwindale "Events Center" would close its doors after 25 years of operation came out recently. The news, while somewhat expected, still took the industry back. It was a journey down memory lane, the place was "Hollywood for short track racing". While Southern California has been challenged to keep the doors open on race tracks during more recent times, remains a hotbed for auto-racing and all things automotive of all types. California promoter, Tim Huddleston and his family kept Irwindale going longer than probably anyone thought it would, however, the speedway wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the vision of Jim Williams. Irwindale, located on a landfill for many other projects, was built after the demise of Riverside International, Ontario Motor Speedway and the famous Saugus Speedway amongst others, to wet the pallet of Southern California motorsports enthusiasts. Williams, longtime executive for Golden State Foods had help from West Coast short track promoter Ray Wilkings, former Indianapolis 500 champion Danny Sullivan and a few other partners built Irwindale on a piece of property Northeast of downtown Los Angeles off the 605 freeway, just South of the 210 freeway. Originally a 50-year lease was signed with "The Speedway Corporation" for Irwindale to sit on the property, however the lease proved to be financially restrictive with terms that did not work for "The Speedway Corporation". The track configuration had some legendary hands in it's development. Parnelli Jones, took Williams and a few others to Tuscon (AZ) Raceway Park to help develop the track, which went on to make it one of the most competitive 1/2-mile short tracks in the history of the sport. Williams other partners who faded away as the Speedway struggled to find it's financial legs. The man that was tabbed to lead the building of the facility Bob Defazio, ended up being named as the General Manager, a partner and ultimately the promoter for more than a decade afte

View in browser A Once in a Lifetime Deal RM Sotheby's x Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum Very rarely does a collection come to market that makes the world sit up and take notice, but that’s exactly what has happened over the past 24 hours. Though only 11 cars will be leaving the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, they rank among the most sought-after automobiles to ever be offered at public auction. Everyone at RM Sotheby’s is immensely proud and privileged to have been chosen to find these machines new homes. From the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Stromlinienwagen that was raced by two of the all-time greats, Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss, to the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM that didn’t only win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1965 but went on to contest the French classic twice more—in addition to three outings at the 24 Hours of Daytona—these cars are nothing short of historic.

Over a period of weeks, the team thoroughly inspected and researched the car ahead of the auction using their extensive expertise and archive. The sale, which promises to be a special moment, will take place in the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. Meanwhile, the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans-winning Ferrari 250 LM is en route to its spiritual home, where it will be pored over and thoroughly inspected by Ferrari Classiche engineers in Maranello prior to its sale in Paris.

All: Tractor racing was basically invented in the 1930s to promote the introduction of inflatable rubber tractor tires instead of continuing to use the standard steel tractor "tires" of the day. The racing was probably more of an exhibition and it wasn't open to everyone. But the speeds they attained and the attention it attracted for several years were very real. The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company and Allis-Chalmers teamed up to promote tractor racing and speed runs in the 1930s. And they hired race drivers Barney Oldfield, Frank Brisko, and even 500 Mile Race winner Louis Meyer at times to race tractors on dirt tracks at state and county fairs across the country; apparently often as a preliminary event to regular auto races. Land Speed racer Ab Jenkins was also a star performer. Apparently, it was popular entertainment in the middle of the Great Depression. Somewhere I had seen a photo of Jenkins on a tractor at Bonneville but until now I had no idea that his runs were part of a much larger racing program. Maybe some of you here know more about this than did I. Here's a very well done video about a short period of motor racing history that has largely been forgotten until now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvQ60OX2Xts -- Randall Cook Indianapolis IN

Several months back my Dell laptop had some sort of malfunction and "Deleted" my Adobe Photoshop CS5 software. I'm clueless as what happened but everything else from CS5 is still there and works perfectly. What makes this so worse is I seem to have stashed very deep (for a move) and can't find my original software DVD I bought from Adobe. My question is does anyone have the Adobe CS5 or CS6 DVD sitting around and don't plan to use it again? From what I understand Adobe made this software so that it can only be downloaded 2 times before it "self destructs". I would greatly appreciate and help from the membership. -- Thomas Luce Manhattan Beach CA USA

(ISEC) has announced that Irwindale Speedway and Dragstrip will close following the 2024 season, ending a quarter-century as a beloved motorsports hub in Southern California. Since opening in 1999, Irwindale has been home to NASCAR races, demolition derbies, street-legal drag racing, and the iconic Formula Drift events at “The House of Drift,” along with numerous car culture festivals. Its final event, Irwindale Speedway’s Farewell Extravaganza, is set for December 21, marking the close of a significant chapter in racing history. “Irwindale has been more than just a track—it’s been a home and gathering place for racing enthusiasts worldwide,” said Tim Huddleston, President of ISEC. “On behalf of my wife Lisa and our partners Bob and Maureen Bruncati, we extend heartfelt thanks to our fans, racers, sponsors, and the City of Irwindale for their unwavering support over the past 25 years. We’re grateful for every moment and memory we’ve shared as a community.” Events will continue through the remainder of 2024, with highlights including Thursday Night Thunders, Night of Destruction on November 2, Nitro Revival on November 8-9, and SevenStock 26 on November 16. The dragstrip will host its final events in December, starting with the last Thursday Night Thunder on December 5, giving fans one last chance to race down the dragstrip or enjoy the burnout box. Irwindale Dragstrip will then close out its history with the legendary Mooneyes Christmas Party on December 7, featuring drag racing, a classic car show, live entertainment, and more—a fitting farewell to the iconic drag racing venue. Irwindale Speedway’s Farewell Extravaganza on December 21 promises an unforgettable finale, packed with heart-pounding action. Fans can expect a full day of NASCAR short-track races, wild Night of Destruction events like Figure-8s and Trailer Races, a high-octane Drift Invitational, and the prestigious ARCA Menards Series West. This historic event will be Irwindale’s biggest and most thrilling celebration yet, a fitting tribute to the legacy of a track that has defined West Coast racing for 25 years. While the closure marks the end of an era, Irwindale’s motorsports legacy will continue as its assets and events transition to Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield for 2025, ensuring that Southern California’s racing spirit endures.

I noticed that Amazon has produced their own "artificial Intelligence" (AI) creation called "RUFUS". I can't help but wonder if Parnelli Jones trademarked and copyrighted his legal name for business purposes a long time ago.

I really enjoyed the Jalopy Races from Hollywood! But, like Bob, I wondered about the date. 1952 just seem a little early. I noticed that one of the drivers had a full coverage hardshell helmet. When did those make an appearance? Even though Culver was a quarter-mile dirt track there wasn’t much dust, the cars weren’t sliding around that much and they were able to hold their lines pretty well. I wonder if the track had been treated — oiled dirt maybe? Looked to me like a few of those cars had slicks on the right side. I liked the starter, too. He had a fun little routine when the drivers were introduced and a nice little leap when started the races. Made a nice show. I truly wish I could have seen the races live . . . and that you still could.
