(Words by Darr Hawthorne and Chad Reynolds, Photos by Darr Hawthorne) It\u2019s not often that we can report of the resurrection of a drag strip, especially in Southern California where track after track has been turned into a housing development or industrial complex.\u00a0 After years of legal wrangling, political crap and significant expense, Auto Club Dragway in Fontana is back and on Saturday February 15th, racers got a first hand look at a much improved, and hopefully quieter, place to race. We got their early so we could get our photos snapped without a jillion people in the way, and it’s a good thing we did because later in the day there were hundreds of Southern California racers at the track, checking out the new digs.<\/p>\n
