    that's less than 10% of PROFITS.... Someone made a ton of money, stuffed it in a bank account, filed bankruptcy to avoid paying out on a personal injury claim, and laughed all the way to an exotic destination. If I were a former employee of Irwindale Speedway LLC, I'd be calling for legal investigations for embezzlement.
    +1 on that >_>

      "Early reports that the owners thought the land was more valuable for residential or mining are untrue; it was a simple issue that the track was costing more to run than it made. Stokes said, however, that he and track owners have heard from plenty of supporters, “including some names you have heard of,” he said, who have offered to do what they can to keep Irwindale Speedway open."

        Statement from nu-way industries, inc.

        STATEMENT FROM NU-WAY INDUSTRIES, INC.

        There have been numerous rumors regarding Irwindale Speedway. Please permit
        this statement to provide clarification:

        1) THE PERMANENT TRACK GRANDSTANDS ARE NOT (NOR ARE THEY IN ANY DANGER OF)
        BEING TORN DOWN. There was a report that the portable, temporary bleachers
        outside the first turn were being dismantled. That is correct. Those
        temporary stands were rented and the company that owned them was simply
        removing their property.

        2) THE TRACK WAS NOT BUILT OVER A POTENTIAL MINING SITE, IT WAS A SAND AND
        GRAVEL MINING SITE, AND AFTER MATERIALS EXTRACTION, BECAME A MINING
        RECLAMATION PROJECT. THE SITE CANNOT BE MINED. There are a set of very
        strict rules about the use and development of this sort of property, which
        are being carefully followed. In 1993, the City of Irwindale approved the
        site to be used as a Swap Meet, and in 1997, approved its use as Irwindale
        Speedway.

        3) NU-WAY INDUSTRIES, INC. OWNS THE LAND, THE RACE TRACK, AND THE EQUIPMENT
        TO OPERATE THE TRACK. An entity called Irwindale Speedway, LLC. leased the
        facility from Nu-Way Industries, Inc. On February 13, 2012, Irwindale
        Speedway, LLC filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 7 of the
        bankruptcy code.

        4) BECAUSE OF THE CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY FILING BY IRWINDALE SPEEDWAY LLC,
        THE COURT IS IN CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER, NU-WAY
        INDUSTRIES, INC. IS ACTIVELY SEEKING A POTENTIAL BUYER FOR THE COMPLETE
        FACILITY. A hearing will be held soon in order to return the facility to
        Nu-Way Industries, Inc. control.

              The House of Drift will never go away.
              That place means just as much to me both as a driver and a fan.
              If you'd shorten it to 5-7-5 you'd have a nice Haiku there.
