One of the most important parts of racing is balance, which is based on the center of gravity, weight and force applied to the car. Without balance, the car is not stable enough to grip the pavement. A bend is a change in the direction of the track. To maintain balance, the driver must adjust their speed to maintain a straight line. The driver’s car’s speed increases as the kink and bend become more severe. If the car loses balance, it may be disqualified from the race.
The owners of the facility say it’s time for a new era at the Park, and have announced plans to transition the venue into a motocross, kart, and auto swap meet venue. The remaining half of the drag racing strip will be used as a concert venue. In addition, the new owners plan to turn the facility into a new sports arena to showcase their talented artists. A major attraction for racing fans is that the venue is close to many downtown Los Angeles neighborhoods.
A bank fraud case forced the closure of the track in 2006. The owners were able to sell the track to a group of investors, including NASCAR driver Frank Kreyer, who brought in $12.5 million in funding. The track reopened in 2007, with the same drivers as before. A new track is planned for the spring. Its popularity continues to rise. It’s no wonder that fans flock to the area. In fact, many people have been at the park since it was opened.
