Two people were critically injured Sunday when a single-engine plane crashed near the track during the National Hot Rod Assn. finals at the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.
Sunday's race is the season finale for the NHRA's national series. Racing was paused at the track as first responders attend to the site of the crash. Action resumed at 4 p.m. ET.
The track opened with a single 1/4 mile dragstrip. Raceway Park offered two dragstrips, three motocross tracks, a 1.3-mile (2.1 km) road course track, competition go kart racing track, autocross track, ride and drive site and adjacent Old Bridge Airport. Their radio and television commercials featured the slogan: "Ah ha ha ha ha ha Raceway Park!"
The coalition of hot rodders, police and community leaders raised funds through donations and paved the lot. This was the birth of the dragstrip in Pomona.

A dragstrip is a facility for conducting automobile and motorcycle acceleration events such as drag racing. Although a quarter mile (1320 feet, 402 m) is the best known measure for a drag track, many tracks are eighth mile (201 m) tracks, and the premiere classes will run 1,000 foot (304.8 m) races.
The dragstrip is proud to extinguish the "nowhere else to go" excuse used by illegal street racers, and local police often hand out flyers to offenders for free entry into drag races at the dragstrip to promote safe racing and has re-opened. The drag strip is set to close on December 21, 2024.
