- After 25 years of serving it's community, local racetrack Irwindale Speedway and Dragstrip announced it would be closing it's doors at the end of the year. Nitro Revival, a reunion for racers from the past and an event for fans to take a step back in time to a different era of drag racing, was held for the final time at the famed southern California track. Irwindale Dragstrip will be remembered fondly by the Force family as it was a track where John and Laurie Force's grandchildren raced often.

Thank you for sharing. I remember crawling under the fence at Irwindale as a little motor head to see the nitro cars. R.I.P. Irwindale.
Spent a lot of time at Irwindale in the late 60's and early 70's. I really enjoyed the "Grand Prix of Drag Racing" they used to have. I also loved the night T/F and F/C races.
Amazing how back in '67-'68 the sound would reverberate throughout the San Gabriel Valley from that wonderful p!ace known as IRWINDA!E RACEWAY!!! ( you had to have heard the radio ads)
Never had the heart to go to its last race, or Lions, or OCIR.
I grew up in the Monrovia Canyon and we loved hearing the sound of the fuel cars echo up there. I saw John Force run there a few times. Willy Borsch was our hero. We also had the 605 Speedway that shut down.
My first drag race was 1972 at Irwindale. I was 7 years old. My Dad took me. Miss Irwindale and my Dad.
That was so good John!!! I grew up in Lynnwood CA. Lion's drag strip was our hang out,hello to John Stewart, Stewie,skinner says hello placerville ca.
Awesome video .... Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
It's sad to see another track go away.

So many Drag Strips are closing Irwindale and Sacramento Raceway 😢
Love seeing all the different characters.
Very well done ! Many , many thanks.
Just hate thinking another drag strip is going away
Sad to see another race track gone😢
Welcome to California Pomona is next
We recently lost Sacramento race way I'm 63 and I remember mom and dad taking me there when was little then when I was 16 I started going to high school drags losing a drag strip is not good and sad
It's a shame that they are closing the last race track in SoCal.
Sad..... Used to be drag strips all over the place.
And they complain about street racing !!!
Oh Man, Irwindale too? This has got to stop!!!!!
Only our car culture can save these icons, the average person does not care. That’s the problem.
What a bummer
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,great production,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,watching the future drivers of JFR...............................
Use to be you couldn’t shake a camshaft and not hit a drag strip in so cal…now you can’t go near a major intersection on Saturday night…
Sure wish California would Snap out of it and go back to the Good OL Days…….
The shitty music drowning out the REAL music of the engine is a nice touch.
1/8 mile 1/4 mile
But, WHY?!?!!???
Why you got to close, when tracks are disappearing everywhere?
