Yes, it breaks my heart every time a drag strip closes. Mid-America was one of my home tracks but the houses just starting getting too close and people complained about the noise. A strange fact is that there is a large system of caves underneath it which make putting a subdivision there unlikely. The same video also featured footage of the only year they actually held a NASCAR race there around 68 or 9. It was unusual to see the cars blasting in and out of the woods over and over again. Lots of history forever.
