Of course it's about money. But why the drag strip only? Hard to imagine that little rinky-dink airport is more profitable than drag racing, especially having a National event every summer. Or the road course. I've never seen much of anything going on there. At least keep the National event and have some limited drag racing during the season?

Guess the economics are such that when you own that much land and can make zillions if you lease it out while at the same time ridding yourself of all the headaches associated with drag racing...

What would everyone here do when presented with this choice? Continue running a largely disliked drag strip in a crowded, politicized area or take $75 million a year for 15 years for doing nothing?

Just sucks that all of the people into this stuff around here are directly affected by this choice. Hope L.I. can get it done!
