Carlo Pogetto Memorial Race - PVQMRA - 2/25/07
After 50 years of racing, PVQMRA held its final race. Carlo Pogetto was responsible for getting this track going over 50 years ago and it was only fitting that the last race would be the Carlo Pogetto Memorial race. The Pomona Police Officers Association put on the Memorial ceremony and even Mrs Pogetto was in attendance. PVQMRA has a notable history but was best known as the World's Fastest Quarter Midget Track	The Honor Gaurd standing by the Carlo Pogetto Memorial rock which was installed when Carlo Pogetto was killed in the line of duty.

PVQMRA moves to a new location
Moving day has finally come. Everything is being moved to the Orange Show Fairgrounds in San Bernardino. The club has been renamed Orange Show QMRA and will race in the infield of the big track on brand new asphalt. All that will be left here at Pomona are the memories and the World Track Records - And no one can take those away!!	Running a ramp up the tower stairs to bring down all the tower equipment and chairs
Two huge dumpsters were brought in - one for added storage and one for trash	The track has a huge long storage bin on the property - this is being loaded with all the track equipment, snack bar machines, etc. It will then be loaded onto a truck and hauled to its new place at the Orange Show Fairgrounds.
The Flag Stand was cut from its anchor posts and is also going to the new track The club has purchased new plastic fencing which will be used at the Orange Show.	Even, the Start/Finish line bricks were dug up and they will be used at a new track when one is actually built. You can see the bricks as they looked in the Memorial Service above.
