Title: Hot VW's Drag Day On Hold Post by: Susy on February 20, 2012, 01:46:58 am Just got off the phone with Rich & Ron, and they wanted me to let you know what is happening:
For Immediate Release Monday February 20, 2012 Hot VWs Drag Day participants, sponsors and fans, As many of you have heard through the newspapers and on the internet, Irwindale Speedway reportedly closed its gates a week ago, Saturday, February 11th. Unfortunately there was no warning and we found out from the rumors circulating at the NHRA Winternationals. Since that time we have learned that the people running the track filed for Chapter 7 and moved out. Our sources say that the owners of the property still want it to remain a raceway and negotiations are underway with new management or ownership. They seem very confident that something will happen, unfortunately it probably won’t happen in time to meet deadlines we have with city permits, insurance and promotional mailings. At this time Periscope Enterprises really has no choice but to postpone the scheduled March 18th Drag Day and put all efforts into the FLAT-4 Bug-In 37 to be held April 29th in Fontana at the Auto Club Speedway. We are also currently working on a modified schedule for the post Bug-In 2012 racing season. Stay tuned!

Thanks for the update, Susy! Title: Re: Hot VW's Drag Day On Hold Post by: DKK Ted on February 20, 2012, 02:41:58 am Bummer it is, but maybe something good will come out of all this, I hope. On the brighter side, we may have the Oct Drag Day, lets just hope all will work out for all involved. I want to run my car with a new motor I finished some time back, but will not have it in, in time for Bug-In. So maybe Oct. Drag Day, will see.
