In modern times, a drag strip, at least in the northern state, isn't generating any income during the cold weather. A dirt course might extend the money making. In general, this is sounding like the typical scenario when a track is sold and sold and redeveloped into homes. Many developments require a catch basin for rain water from the runoff of the new development. How about a new track or a street legal road service where the townships can charge a tax for a performance car and monthly subscription for use of the road surface. The bomb is ticking and the little guy is losing again.
What about snowmobile drags in the winter with snow makers? Could be interesting
