The race scene in southern California is certainly being challenged. First, the closing of Irwindale Speedway, and now this statement from Auto Club Speedway:
“A Superior Court has suspended operation of the Auto Club Dragway. The suspension results from a successful challenge of a San Bernardino County sound standard by a group of concerned residents. San Bernardino County officials had approved an amendment to the county sound standard in 2010 to accommodate louder sound arising from races at the Dragway. The Superior Court found that the underlying environmental impact report, which the county relied on to approve the sound standard amendment, was not sufficient.
“We are currently reviewing the court ruling and evaluating our options moving forward. We hope to have more detailed information about our future operations at the dragway soon.
“The NHRA Street Legal Drags on Saturday, March 3, will be canceled.”
