Drag strips closing in US...

Used to have one 20 min away. MAR. Mid America Raceway. Been closed now for about 20years. Used to go every weekend, they sold the land and put in a subdivision. If you are lucky enough to have one close, especially a small "local" track get involved support it any way you can. If it closes you'll miss it.

Agree. My local, Irwindale, closed for a while, and I sure missed it
I go every Thursday when I'm in california, whether racing or spectating.
I preferred it to Fontana because of the scoreboards as a spectator, and I have come to prefer 1/ 8 mile as a racer. Still gonna miss fontana......
I have seen 10 1/2 tracks closed in Southern California (or is it more? Might have to recount). Raced on at least eight tracks no longer here.
1/2 track? Yep, Pomona. Open to high dollar racers and pro's twice a year. Closed to the little guy all year round.
