  • 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.

    Only our car culture can save these icons, the average person does not care. That’s the problem.

    The shitty music drowning out the REAL music of the engine is a nice touch.
