i never got to experience drag racing as you knew it. i was born in the late 80's. but what really irks me is that they keep closing racetracks. where in the hell are we supposed to go to race? the closest dragstrip is infineon raceway, and i have to drive an hour and a half to get there. of course this is probably alot closer than some of you have to drive, but it is alarming at the number of race tracks are closing. a couple months ago we thought we had lost our local dirt oval, petaluma raceway, because the city wanted to build baseball stadium and bring in a minor league team. we had a minor league team, the sonoma county crushers, and they folded because they couldnt give tickets away. what would make more sense to the property owner? a race track that is JAMMED every friday and saturday night, pr a white elephant of a baseball stadium?
