Continued:

Make an effort to remind all your gearhead friends that New England Dragway, Lebanon Valley Dragway, New Oxford Dragway, and Winterport Dragway still exist.
Get your butt to Epping, NH; West Lebanon, NY; Oxford, and Winterport, Maine, and buy a ticket. Take pictures and share them on social media. Put together a listing for yourself and your race car on the Northeast Drag Racing Database (NEDRDB.com} and share that link with your friends. Wear the t-shirts and the hats, and not just when you are at the drag strip.Put a bumper sticker on all of your cars.

If you are a member of a car club think about having your club take a ride to a drag strip and having a little intra-club grudge racing fun.

Remind anyone who asks that you don’t need a race car to go drag racing.

Get some schedules from your favorite track and put them in your local businesses.
Tack one on the corkboard at your favorite pizza joint.

Drag racing is a family-friendly, COVID-friendly, outdoor activity and a major driver of economic activity and jobs that require skilled labor.

WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?
A lot of discussions have been going on about the future of drag racing and New England Dragway.Someone else will make an offer to buy that land in the future. But they will always have an uphill battle getting the shareholders to agree to it.

Electric vehicles are coming. But anyone who buys a high-powered car is gonna wanna see how fast it goes, no matter what the power source is.
We would be drag racing wheelbarrows if that is all we had.

Car Culture is not dead. That are still lots of people who are interested in modifying and racing cars. They may not be the type of cars you are interested in, but they are gearheads, and gearheads will always need a place to test out their latest and greatest efforts.
See you at the drag strip
