      When I read the headline my first thought was "Isn't Irwindale an 1/8th mile track??" Yup, sure is, WOW. It does have a very long shut down though, I'd say longer than a lot of 1/4 mile tracks if I remember rolling down it right, you don't want to miss the first turn out :P
      Escaped on a technicality.

        Very cool for them. A little on the slow side, old news, etc. LOL

        He took it all the way, we pulled him out of the sand trap. We've got 1000' or so of shutdown.

          Man when I saw them pull that thing out I thought this guys got a deathwish! ....knowing Irwindales dodgy shutdown area...that 207+ lap on that track was insane to watch!!

            Wow... Irwindale's shutdown is kinda spooky at 100 mph, 200 is nuts...

              it must have had one hell of a pull in the last quarter of the eighth.

              I know of a motorcycle that got into fours as a street machine.. a little CBR 600 honda, driver about 145 pounds.
              of course modified, but you may get my point...

              gears win. ;D
