Background
In 1974, “Big Willie” Robinson and his wife Tomiko, opened the drag strip which hosted ¼ mile drag racing. It opened on an old Navy airfield paying $1,000 per month to lease the facility. Over the next two decades, the track would lose and regain the temporary lease several times but would permanently close in 1995, displaced by a coal-handling plant.
Today
There have been numerous efforts to revive Terminal Island Raceway but to date, none have been successful.
