Jeff is correct here for the most part...
The dragstrip is the least profitable venue on the site.
It would be very hard for it to continue to exist without the other venues...Not impossible with more racer support, including from some who might read this post.
Dan Matthews' background is in Motocross ...He has tried to manage and promote the dragstrip on his own, through various experienced managers and partners, and once again, through his own hands-on efforts.
A veteran racer told me when I came to the Valley, is there is a lot of apathy here with the racers. When you have tracks that are open year round, it's very easy to say...It's too hot..too cold now...I'll just go out there some other time..
I have seen this personally in the last six months

I wish I could post a more rosy picture here.....but the bottom line, boys, is ...

>>>Use it ...or lose it<<<
