Another one bites the Dust- So long Richmond Dragway

Back when I was young and the nearest drag strip was 1 1/2 hours from here, street racing got very popular...

Luckily they opened the Route 66 race track in Joliet and people can just go there, so there's not the street racing here like they used to... Why take a chance and get busted by the cops, when you can go to the track and race legally???


It sucks when you loose your race track....

Yes it does. We have a really nice facility in Dinwiddie, Va. (VMP) but it's apples to oranges. A small track like RD is more intimate (maybe there is a better word for it lol) and everything is just easier to make passes.

I am glad this all happened as I was awaiting for a car to come availble in 2 months and I shut that down. I prefer a street bruiser and not trailering. Times are changing and it is what it is.....
