I live 23 miles from Island and really do not want to see anything happen to the track. I learned how to race there and have made thousands of runs down that track. Unfortunately, I have seen some things happen there over the years and the announcement of the closing does not surprise me.

Rumor has it (please remember I said this is a rumor) that the track is grandfathered in. A member of the Kowalick family would have to remain at least part owner of the facility for it to remain a drag strip. Chances of that working out well are slim.

Hopefully, something will happen that will save the track...
