We stopped by the Wheel Inn diner from Pee Wee's Big Adventure only to find it is now a pile of rubble.

And now we have lost the new Fontana, it sucks because it was a really nice track and a full 1/4 mile.😢
Two nights ago my wife and I were sitting in the Benihana on Inland Empire when it came to me: Hey, I wonder if the old Ontario Motor Speedway is around here somewhere. We're not from here, obviously. I haven't been a race fan in decades. So I look it up and BAM! We're sitting on Turn 4 of the Ontario Motor Speedway! Started looking around after dinner and I said, "Hey look. They built a monument about the Speedway!" Not ONE friggin' mention or hint of a speedway. Just some lame@$$ overbuilt monument to the founder of Ontario who apparently missed Canada. Sorry, nameless founder of Ontario, but your monument was built on top of a sacred gravesite. Anyway, thank you Rusting Relics for going out there and finding what's left. I think it's ALL gone now.
looking at google maps I believe the dirt berms your were looking at was not the track. There were high dirt berms placed down the back straight and around the outside of turn 3 to reduce crosswinds that were very bad. The track was not banked that much.
Thanks for your comment. I just looked at Google earth, and the entire turn 3 area has been developed. Remember, this video is over 10 years old.
I'm glad you opened it up so I could see inside. Now that I know the layout, there's an easier fix. You will need a flashlight and a stiff wire. Shine the light into the slot below the battery compartment and turn that propeller gear using the piece of stiff wire about 10 times. That was enough to get mine working!
I saw my first concert at Ontario Motor Speedway when I was 15 years old. It was Leon Leon Russell. I believe in 1974 ... I was also at California Jam 1/2 and the US Festival. I lived in Upland Ontario area for 45 years and I do miss it. The good 'ol days!! Th 17:22 Thank you for bringing back those memories......
Why aren't you mentioning California Jam 1 and 2 and the US Festival that was at the Ontario Motor Speedway ?
I guess you didn't watch the entire video. I talk at length about Cal Jams 1 and 2. The US festival was held in Glen Helen, not Ontario.
I have the television broadcast of cal jam 2 on my facebook
I just looked up this site on Google Maps & the turn 3 area is now being developed so there is nothing left of the track now. I'm glad you were able to go there & film that area before that happened. And of course now the Auto Club Speedway is supposed to be reconfigured into a short track. We'll have to see if that actually happens.
Just picked one up in a flea market and it works. Not as loud as I remember it being when I was a kid. But since it works, I'm not going to take it apart. My only suggestion to this vid is I would have been more careful at removing those rivets. It would have been better to grind the head off one side as they are only sheet metal and then removed the rivet. This would have let you use replacement hollow rivets to reassemble. I also think that the rheostat in the controller is another problem area. I noticed in your vid that the speed of the motor was not consistent with the position of the speed controller. I have not figured out how to get the controller apart without damaging it. I suspect it is not possible. I might try to shoot some contact cleaner inside to try and clean up the surface of the rheostat.
Oh, the knob of the controller will pop off without too much forcing - but it's impossible to put back together without taking the whole controller apart! ! ! DON'T DO IT! ! ! ! ps - after doing all that and cleaning the wire-wound rheostat, I didn't notice much difference.
Sadly turn 3 is gone now.
I came to this video because of California Jam 1,,, what an awesome memory that still is from being 14 years old at the time, thanks for talking about where the stage was located at.
Awesome you took a interest in this track 👍my first race there as a Crew on a car .
ted nugent is still awesome
looks like a 76 lincoln
i hang out right there and never knew! i cant believe this was on my feed! i cant believe AI did something cool im gonna check it out tomorrow
I found a 69 Ghia that was heading to the car crusher! My son and I put a stop to that. We are going to start working on it soon. Our goal is to get it running and on the road and enjoy driving it! We'll be out to enjoy the fun with y'all ASAP.👍✌️✌️
I find it bizarre that all this money, concrete, infrastructure and gone after not that many years. Then later Fontana Motor Speedway is built. Couldn't they have just updated Ontario and saved a lot of money?
So sad 😢
I remember having a motorcycle magazine that described a motorcycle road race that was held at Ontario Motor Speedway. I think Yvon DuHamel won on a Kawasaki, but I can't be sure. It looked like a cool place to me at the time from the photos in the article.
Hi, I grew up in Rialto. I've been there... a lot has changed over the decades. Thanks for the video.
I got one for Christmas in 1963. Parked it in my neighbors driveway and she backed over it on Christmas Day. They were nice neighbors and bought me another one when the bike store opened after Christmas. I was a lot more careful about where I left it afterwards. Was a really cool bike in its day. I rode it till I outgrew it.
Dude, I went to Calif Jam in 74. What a freaking amazing event. When I heard Emerson, Lake, and Palmer were playing, I went. I think I even went to see a drag racing event there. Been so damn long I can't remember. But the Calif Jam was iconic. It was historic. When I went, I got there the night before and hung out in the parking lot on "Schrooms". Then about 10 pm, Keith Emerson apparently came out to do a sound check and was messing with his Moog. Everyone in the parking lot heard it. It was also the time they were messing around with "Quad Sound" at the time where the audio circled you. Wow. It was the most incredible thing ever as a teenager. I'll never forget it. What a shame they tore down a piece of history. Wish I could turn the clock back 48 years ago. It's been that long.
Are post 1968 buses not allowed? I don't see any without the spit window. As campers I preferred them.
Lost me at Nugent.
Went to thr LA Times 500 as a kid , still have a big O seat cushion....thanks for taking me Dad !!!
It is quite outrageous that they actually tore down this track when I feel that it could've had so much potential considering its seating capacity and banking.
That was interesting. Would like to see a satellite view with the track overlapping it
I believe that there is one on Facebook on California jam fanclub page.
I used to go there when i was a kid thanks for bringing back history
tha had a drag strip there too
Great job bringing the legend to life.
This is how my dreams look like 😁
Thanks for this! My wife and I had our first date here in November of 1977. It was Yucaipa High School's Homecoming Dance in the restaurant in the grandstands, and we danced the night away to the dulcet tones of a Lionel Ritchie and the Commodores cover band!
I had one of these on a pedal car! Somehow, I locked the key in the battery compartment!
Right on man. . . Nice 🇺🇲
Loved this, thank for the video. It's a shame that this track didn't survive.
Had one of these as a kid. I lost the key on the first day. The next day I discovered a paper clip works in place of the key. 😀
Thank You
this is super weird cause i live right by IMS (i actually marched on the track on race day this past year) and ontario motor speedway was a carbon copy of it.
My dad been there when it was abandoned for over a decade.
I went here as a kid with my dad so many times. I am blown away! wow! Great video! Damn Cal Jam! Mention KMET! So cool!
Looking back from 2021, the simplicity of this device is fascinating. Also, I've never seen a mechanical speaker before. Cool!
im in the ontario CA area wonder if theres anything left..
I lived in rialto until 1967. My dad would always take me there when there was cars going. He was friends of stone wood cook willys guys. Fond memories
Hey, I have been looking for that car.....I last had it with me at the final race in 1982....😁🤣
THE ONTARIO CENTER was the first life after racing.
I attended the final race in 1982.
Me and my Brothers used to ride go Carts there in the parking lot, back in the early 70 s ... great memories
Sad. Live near Milwaukee and the mile.Still is there but I can see the end coming. Oldest track in the nation.
Interesting
