Drag Strip Closed
The closing of the Memphis track was no real surprise.
They were probably going to lose their national event after 2010 anyway. When NHRA recently announced the Memphis race was being moved back to August, that should have put everybody on notice that the track's future was short. Memphis in August is not exactly the best time of year to be there.
Once Little E and his group of investors backed out, there was nobody else who wanted to buy the facility.
Besides, it is an old track. Its layout is terrible for fans and you have to go through the middle of the 'hood to get to it.
Yes, it is sad to see another drag strip close. But, just remember, when one door closes, another opens.
