Richmond Dragway is closed up.

Let me ask this: I guess Atco is worth more as a scrapyard/auction (I'm confused as to which) than it is as a dragstrip? If it is, it must be a significant difference for the current owner, (whom I can only guess is a drag racing enthusiast) not to sell it as a dragstrip.

Atco's about 60 years old, I wouldn't want to be the guy who sold out.

I guess Englishtown was worth a bunch more as whatever-it-was-sold-as, rather than a dragstrip. Enthusiast or not, that owner eliminated an iconic track.

"Follow the money trail", I imagine. Shame.
