This is a very pertinent topic and it is a shame so many are closing. But they are mostly on large tracts of land that has become so valuable as urban sprawl grew closer and closer. There are a few rural ones that are reopening so that is good anyway. The whole history of the cars we love is directly tied in to drag racing and cruising.
