Irwindale Speedway Closing?
This morning we awoke to some pretty alarming news. Irwindale Speedway could be closing its doors. We have received word from Formula Drift (via official homepage) and Hot Import Nights (via facebook) that Irwindale Speedway drag strip and main racing grounds could be closed, but are still holding a hesitant thumbs up for their scheduled events on the property grounds. This could mean parking lot status.
As much as we can gather from the Daily News report, HIN, and FD is that the pit grandstands have been taken down, employees have supposedly received a final check, and the dispute is between the property owners and the facility owners. Stay tuned for more news as we monitor any and all developments. Follow the links below for the stories.

Metropolis II @ LACMA
Its finally here! After many YouTube video posts, the magnificently mesmerizing child hood dream of the ultimate hotwheels track has nestled safely and fully operationally into the Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art (LACMA). Check out the full press kit for all the details. Here is a teaser shot to show you what’s in store for your inner child. Keep in mind that the track only operates during the weekends during set time frames. I guess having more than 1,100 hot wheels blazing around a seamless track at 200mph (scale speed) can get a bit noisy.

Lexus LF-LC Design Story
As designers we are often asked, how does your car make it on the road? Where do you find your inspiration? Do you really just sit and draw cars all day? The answer is in this video shot by the Calty Design Headquarters in California. Enjoy, because so much of what happens in the world of a designer is in this video (minus the pinky out moment with the espresso, really guys?!).
