Drag strips closing every Day!

The only (usable) quarter mile strip in southern california, an area of what? 20 million people, closed last year, and the two mile indy/Nascar track (that had the dragstrip in the parking lot) closed this year.
Why? Who knows, there ne ver was a good explanation.
What's gonna be built in its place? A short track..... just like the two others within 50 miles.
We now have a total of two 1/8 mile strips for all of Southern california, and if the new roundy in Fontana puts Irwindales roundy out of business (again!) we lose one of those two strips.
How I envy those of you that have three or four strips to chose from.
Edit: I forgot about Bakersfield, being 1/4 mile. But then, its at least 150 miles from LA, 180 from my house. Irwindale is 15 miles, Fontana WAS 20, and pomona (IF we could use it, f#@k you nhra) is less than 5.
