work at the huge south korean car battery plant just down the hwy ...... i can understand the bleachers being sold,
but now you really have to wonder why the tower was torn down? maybe nhra needed the money from the scrap too?
and in the interim while the track has sat empty, why didn't local zoning rewrite laws against the property being a drag strip again?
