Drag strip test n tune only?

[64plymouth]

I live in North Central Wisconsin. We have four drag strips in the state and Wisconsin international raceway is the closest to me. I have never been a very active drag race racer. At best I would go four or five times a year. I never made it to.WIR last year. But was planning on going this year. So I looked up their schedule and they don’t have a bracket program anymore just testing tunes on Friday night from 5 PM to 10 PM. I know the track was for sale a few years ago. I’m just thinking this is the beginning of the end for WIR. Does anyone else’s tracks just do testing tunes?

Many tracks that have road racing are dumping the bracket racing and focusing on that. Must be more profit in that racing.

The end is near, yes. With the value of land and the suburbs reaching out to where the tracks are. When these tracks were built is was out in the toolies.

A lot of schedules haven't been released yet.

In Tennessee, it seems to be a carousel with tracks closing and opening but the best news has been that IHRA has bought and is refurbishing the former NHRA track formerly known as Memphis Motorsports Park and plans a reopening set for late 2026. The smaller drag strips nearer to me seem to be on limited schedules instead of races every weekend weather permitting.

We have nearby track that puts out a cryptic schedule on Facebook of all places. I'm not on Facebook so info about races is sketchy. They do have test and tune but figuring out when is difficult as they do it in conjunction with racing. They do have a couple bracket races a year.
