" The track was closed for 1 reason. The auto emissions standards and gas prices were making the sport unactractive for the "STOCKER" crowd where Joe and Chet obviously made most money ( racer volume). This, combined with a fantastic offer to buy the property for humus peat and gravel processing made the closing and sale a "no brainer". It was a boring demise compared to the story about an accident...... which has absolutely no merit. Joe and Chet knew nothing about drag racing, and couldn't have cared less. They only looked at making money. " For All you guys wondering what we're talking about See the "last Day" Topic:
