Well if NHRA is looking to cash in, This might be the property for it. It sounds like they have the biggest plot out of whom else is selling in the area. Plus a bonus is that they have the utilities already installed.

I guess the biggest question here is, why is NHRA looking to sell the track?

$$$$ is a good answer. I think NHRA took a bath last year, what w/ sour yellow cancelling the contract & low spectator count, etc etc. I feel bad for the Atlanta folks; hope they find places to race not too far away.

If you read the AJC article it mentioned that they've had interest from other track operators who want to keep it a drag strip. I don't think that will happen with all the big money/tech companies & Amazon looking at the property.
