Описание: Welcome back to Vast Sky Media!

What began as a modest gravel lot transformed into a hallowed motorsport arena, where raw power and precision converge to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.

In 1952, the Choppers of Pomona car club, in partnership with the Pomona police and city officials, established the dragstrip as a sanctioned haven for racers, curbing the dangers of illicit street competitions. This visionary collaboration birthed a venue that would redefine drag racing’s trajectory. By 1953, the track achieved a historic milestone, hosting the National Hot Rod Association’s (NHRA) inaugural event, the Southern California Championships, a pivotal moment that elevated its stature within the motorsport realm.

The dragstrip’s prominence grew in 1961 when it became the permanent home of the NHRA Winternationals, the prestigious season-opening spectacle known as the "Big-Go West." This annual event draws elite competitors and fervent spectators, showcasing the sport’s finest talent. Since 1984, the track has also hosted the NHRA Finals, a climactic championship event where drivers vie for supremacy, their engines roaring under the California sky.

Operated by the NHRA and boasting a 40,000-seat capacity, the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip is a testament to engineering and community spirit. Its quarter-mile stretch, steeped in decades of triumphs and rivalries, resonates with the echoes of legendary races and iconic champions. The dragstrip remains a beacon of drag racing heritage, blending meticulous craftsmanship with the visceral thrill of speed, forever etched in the sport’s storied history.
