Brotherhood Raceway Park


Brotherhood Raceway Park was a drag racing venue on Terminal Island which is between the neighborhood of San Pedro in the city of Los Angeles and the city of Long Beach.

Background

In 1974, "Big Willie" Robinson and his wife Tomiko, opened the drag strip which hosted 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

Subsequent attempts to revive racing on the Terminal Island site, particularly when the coal facility closed, have not been successful.
