LOS ANGELES -- Two people were killed Thursday in a crash at California Speedway in Fontana.



A private car club was renting the speedway at the time of the crash.

A Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a retaining wall and came to rest on the track's infield. Authorities said two people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene.

The second person in the car was transported by Mercy Air to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. That person later died.

The track is home to the California 500, Nextel Cup 500, the Toyota Indy 400 and other motorsport events. The 2-mile D-shaped oval surrounds an infield portion used for road courses and a 13-turn interior test circuit.

Private parties can rent the track to turn laps.

I'm not sad, because the two people that died aren't related to me in any way. Its sad that they died on a race track were Drift Days are held. CA Speedway is suppose to offer a safe venue for driving. However, accidents like this are bound to occur.

Lets hope this doesn't ruin it for all of us. CA Speedway will surely reconsider renting out its tracks. I smell a possible lawsuit.
