Gateway done!

Not necessarily related but I remember when they decided to destroy a perfectly good well run multi-purpose facility here in Southern California.

Ontario Motor Speedway- Opened in 1970 and was regarded as one of the finest motorsports facilities of the period. It was torn down only a decade later, however, because the property was needed for commercial developement.

So - just like that gone in 60 seconds.

The ironic part is - twenty years later they built a new multi-purpose racing facility virtually within ear shot called California Speedway (Fontana)

Go figure
