“Illegal street racing in Southern California is an ongoing concern and it has been our intent since the inception of our Test and Tune program to provide individuals with an environment to race in a safe, legal and fun environment,” said Bob DeFazio, Irwindale VP. “By expanding the schedule to include a select number of Sunday dates, it allows us to accommodate more individuals and hopefully recruit some new converts.”
