Even though it's only a half or 3/4 mile stretch of straight road, it takes alot of money to fund a dragstrip. I know our track underwent a $150k renavation last winter when a new group of guys bought it. It was nice before but now, it's the nicest track in the area. To upkeep a dragstrip is alot of work...not to mention buying/leasing the property, hiring employees, insurance issues, etc. There's alot more to it than just opening more dragstrips to keep people off the streets.
