Dragweek 2021

...since they switched all the tracks around I'm not quite as excited about it.
I see there is "concern about the closure of Memphis International Raceway". That caught my attention especially because my wife (a 1320 'enthusiast' and occasional participant in her 1965 421 Tripower GTO) and I took the trip there from South Louisiana for a Street Outlaws No Prep Kings event 4 years ago. It was in July, HOT as all get out, even for us who live in "the swamp", and a lot of fun. A significant bonus was the Street Outlaws Memphis group (they were not in the 'official' event) having a real deal street race night, no police, no Discovery Channel cameras, on the road by the huge shipping container facility you can see is their "venue" from the show. We talked with some of the people from the Memphis group and they were friendly and cool to be around.
Anyway, we thought it was a nice track, so if it's closing permanently that would be a real loss.
