another dragstrip with one foot in the grave.

Financially it is almost impossible to make a go of it as a "dragway only " operation . Motorsports parks are doing better because of the diversity . It takes megadollars to run a sports/motorsports facility profitably . Included in this is the permitting nightmare and the public distane for such a facility . Isolation and economic depravity are friends of racetracks . Traffic congestion is not . I live 6 miles from New Hampshire International Raceway and I can tell you they are the best neighbors you could ask for . they paid for the infrastructure improvements , hired a lot of people and provided entertainment for thousands of folks . The people who are griping now are people who moved into the area AFTER the park was built and don't like the noise and congestion (which is twice a Year). They didn't know this beforehand ? NOT !
