Bandimere Speedway
 

I know there's some gloom with the announcement of Irwindale closing. There's been some good news when it comes to drag strips as well.

Bandimere Speedway surrendered its mountain a couple week ago. While it's never going to be possible to completely replace that location, they did drop news that they acquired new land and are working towards a partial re-opening in 2025 with full operations by 2026.

Nothing is of course guaranteed, especially with the climate around racing and automobiles in general, but it's a sign of hope regardless.

Local track near me re'opened BUT they dont have a cristmas tree or timers... kinda useless

Sorta lame, unless you're into arm drop and flashlight stuff. I suppose it's better than nothing though.
