what dragstrips are there in southern california

I'm moving near loma linda which is 60 miles east of los angeles of the 10 freeway. Are there any dragstrips nearby that I can head to once in a while?

Re: what dragstrips are there in southern california

Loma Linda is next door to California Dragway in Fontana (once it get back up and running) 1/4 mile
Irwindale is about 30 miles West (usually runs on Thursday evenings only) 1/8 mile
LA County (Palmdale)- not sure how far it is from there - it takes about 1.5 hours to get there. 1/4 mile but is at 3,000+/- ft altitude
Perris about 5~10 miles 1/8 mile (and a very short shut down area)
Barona 1/8 mile never been there so I can't help there.
Pomona only runs the big events - Good Guys, NHRA National Events, and Super Chevy.
Famoso (Bakersfield) - 1/4 mile - Being re-paved and not quite finished yet, about 170 miles to the track 2.5 hours drive time
RUMOR ONLY - Drag City is supposed to be built in Banning, biut has been little more than a website since 1999.

Re: what dragstrips are there in southern california

The Fontana track (California Dragway) is currently being relocated to another part of the extensive acreage that comprises California Speedway. It's located a couple of miles north of I10 off Cherry Avenue, just east of the I10/I15 interchange. The original track was a temporary facility and it was torn up in March. Racers are waiting for the opening of the new facility within a month or two. It will be the only 1/4 mile track operating on a weekly basis in the L.A. metropolitan area. Palmdale is another 75 miles north, in the Antelope Valley.

In Loma Linda you will literally be 20 minutes from Fontana (lovingly referred to as Fontucky). I pass through Loma Linda on my way there all the time.
