George Tuers Flashback

Auto Club Raceway at Pomona

 

Pomona Raceway

Nostalgia drag racing

 

The small three-story tower that stood for more than 25 years gave way to a 14,600-square-foot tower complete with corporate suites and a modern press center. In 1992, Auto Club Raceway at Pomona entered the final phases of the $4.5-million modernization project, which included the installation of permanent grandstand seats, half of which have seat backs.

In 2001, Auto Club Raceway at Pomona's entire 1,320-foot racing surface was repaved to extend the concrete launchpad from 330 to 660 feet. In 2006, luxury VIP box suites were built atop the east-side grandstands.
