Re: Extnct Drag Strip: The Original Irwindale
Irwindale operated from 1965 until 1977 when the city forced its closure to make room for a Miller Beer brewery. Today's Toyota Raceway at Irwindale, with its 1/8-mile strip and oval, is west of original track site.
New Irwindale 1/8-mile strip location at left and original Irwindale site at right, now a brewery. San Gabriel was just a few miles to the southwest of old Irwindale. Imagine that, two historic dragstrips just a few miles apart! Those guys had it good.     Photo from Jungle Pam's site:
