The eight that closed:
1. Sunset Raceway (Mercer)
2. Skyline DRagway (New Castle)
3. New Bethlehem
4. Peterson Memorial (Altoona/Tyronne)
5. York US 30
6. Pittsburgh Int'l Dragway (Cecil)
7. Pocono Drag Lodge
8. Vargo Dragway (Perkesie)
Ohio and WV we could only come up with three each that closed. In Ohio, Howland, Meander and one up by Toledo, Glass City?). WV Fairmont/Eldora, Princeton, and Winfield. I'm sure there are more, in each state, those are just the ones we could remember (many closed before I was born in 1979, sadly).
