Had to do it. Kalitta losing his life in the shut down and no more land to extend the track tied the NHRA's hands. Even reducing the track to 1000 feet wasn't going to be enough to make that place safe. The cars just got too fast.

But, yeah, an absolute bummer to lose that track.

Or any of the old tracks, like Mile High. Is Seattle next?
