Drag Racing is Dying

At least you folks have tracks , here on the island we have historic western speedway , a 1/2 mile donut track that they use less than 500 ft of for drag racing in the summer , I used to sit the stands a few years ago for 5 bucks on a sunday afternoon , now they want 20 bucks to watch cars set up to run the distance , put a 1/4 mile car out there and it launches , bangs second and slams on the brakes yeehaw , The top track on the left coast is Mission Raceway over on the mainland ,it¸s a great track and the friday street car shootouts are fun , no elimination just keep lining up and they track who beat who and award a winner , lots of passes instead of getting a single test and maybe getting trailered first pass at western , but it's 2 hours from the ferry terminal that is 45 minutes from Victoria and a 1hr 45 min boat ride to the mainland making it at least 4 hours from here and the boats don`t run all night so add a hotel room to the double ferry ride .
