Southern California - no place to drag race in the birthplace of drag racing
We still have lots of dragstrips around where I live in Indiana, but what's killing the tracks is lack of spectators. You go to a track and there might be a good crowd of cars, but no paying customers in the stands. The guys that raced 30-40 years ago weekly are either deceased, or far to old to race any longer. Track preparation is also now so costly that operators just have no prep races, and those suck in my opinion, and are far to dangerous to race a fast car at. I am not done with racing, but I am going to build a 1937 Nash for just cruising around town for when there are no racetracks left or I get to old to race any longer.
