Southern California - no place to drag race in the birthplace of drag racing

I would make the argument that drag racing now is AS popular or MORE popular than it ever has been. Maybe in a different form than you’re used to (no prep, back of track, street etc) but the popularity is there. The tracks that embrace change will survive.
I hope you are right.
I am a drag racer by heart, and used to bracket race when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Never was into anything else except for motocross/off road biking...
