Irwindale Speedway Possibly Closing (House Of Drift)

[HB JDM]

Alright guys, If you haven't heard the news it looks like Irwindale Speedway (AKA "The House Of Drift") is closing its doors to racing. There is no official announcement by the track officials however deconstruction of the pitstands and storage facilities has already begun. Speculation is that the track might stay open for filming commercials and other small private events. If anyone has anymore info please comment because I'm hoping along with everyone else, that this is not true.

Here's an announcement by Formula D:

Here's an article by Daily News Los Angeles:
