I am a street racer from So Cal. I am a bad speller and don't need to be reminded of it either. (spent more time under a hood than in a book unless it was a car rag) Have not figured out the spell check on this forum. I am helping in reopening dragstrips in the Los Angeles area and giving street racers a place to race other than the streets. One of the tracks is Brotherhood Raceway and the other is the now recent closure of Los Angeles County Raceway in the high desert of LA County. Here are some links-

4/29/2007 Tomiko Robinson, the first lady of Street Racing in LA, has sadly passed away....... She was a good friend to us all, even if she just met you, she was your friend.... I'll never forget her smile.......it always warmed your heart.

The RaceLegal.com program was formed in 1998 by Dr. Stephen J. Bender, Professor of Epidemiology/Biostatistics in San Diego State University’s Graduate School of Public Health. Via a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, a comprehensive grass root community based coalition entitled “Closing the Loop” was initiated. This coalition involved city/county government, law enforcement (Drag Net), Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR), Superior Court, City Attorney, District Attorney, county probation as well as the safer and sanctioned RaceLegal.com track alternative to illegal street racing.
