[Land-speed] modified street cars & your old drag strip

[Bryan Savage]

John,

99.9% of all 40's, 50's,etc. dragstrips have fallen to development.

The reasons are obvious, money and population increasing 3X.
That's the the way it's always been in America.
To me, it's not bad or good, that's just the way it is.

Sometimes Reality is a bitch,
Bryan
