Drag races are not run in reverse, going back is not a option. The only way to go is forward. The problem with all these tracks is that somewhere along the line they decided that you could make money and stay open off the racers and that you didn't need "spectators" anymore. That is the problem.

Think about the last time you were at the track, any track and this includes Division level races too. You can count the number of spectators in the stands on one hand at most of them if you take out the racers or people that came with the racers. In other words there is nobody in the stands! Ain't making any money? DUH!

The problem is marketing. Nobody wants to "market" drag racing on a local level anymore. They all figure that "if there is a track, they will come". BS! I can just about guarantee you that 99+% of the people in any major or even minor market have no idea there is a track close by racing on Fri, Sat, or Sun. Then add to that the piss poor "show" (in other words no show) at most of them and it's easy to see why the tracks are failing. Want to sell something you have to market it, plain and simple... If nobody is aware there is a race how can you expect them want to go to it?
