I used to work with Ron Wilcom, one of the owners sons. He said his dad was totally burned out from running the place for so many years. His dad worked like every weekend for like 40 years or something crazy like that. No one else in the family wanted to run it and he didn't want to hire someone to run it. So he shut it down. I haven't talked to Ron in a few years but I believe the Wilcoms still own all the property and its not for sale. They also own a lot of property that surrounds the drag strip too.

Really sad to see it shut down because I would get there in less then an hour from where I live.
