Post by: Loren At 65GS on August 06, 2022, 07:12:30 AM

I don't normally follow things on another site and bring it over, but this caught my attention.

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.
