Let me get this straight, Pomona isn't closing down, is it? They're not kicking us out, are they? Then what gives? The Agajanian Boys had no problem letting the Grand National Gang come to their place three times a year. How can they say "So. Cal. race fans deserve th.e very best" and "we're canceling" in the same sentence? The superbike weekend is nice and all, but they don't need to cancel dirt track. We do deserve the best, and that's why the Rolling Thunder comes to Southern California twice a year. We support them. We had a hard time believing it when San Jose really had "The Last Mile" and when Ascot closed down its hallowed halls, we all took home some dirt in our pockets. The list of tracks that have closed in Southern California is too long to list. How can they call themselves race promoters and then go out and cancel a race? The next thing you know they'll move the road race to Penske's new place out in San Bernardino and cancel the Spring Pomona half- mile as well.
