Sucks to see that another is closing, . Probably got a deal they couldn't refuse for real estate development. Does it say why they're closing?

Probably to store cars like several others we’ve lost! Sad

Article said they are putting in an industrial park, of all things.
We have empty ones by the bushel full in Ohio.

Southern Illinois they are popping up like crazy in the flood plains... South Roxana , Edwardsville area.. plenty of space here several are empty with signs on front saying rent me! Sad to see another track going by the wayside... very disturbing.

We still have Houston Motorsports Park close by, it's an 1/8 mile track. Used to run my 74 Duster there, but 1/4 mile racing is hard to beat.

I wonder if the round-d-round facility next door
is shutting down also?
