Unfortunately this is likely going to keep continuing. Drag racing is declining, the cost to operate a track continues to go up, and Covid hurt allot!

And the cost to own a race car isn’t getting any cheaper. Summit series is going 1/8 just to help racers. 1/8 mile is easier of parts (doesn’t help the engine builders, you get twice the life out of your parts) .

There were tracks closed all last year and likely won’t reopen this year. Owners aren’t going to be paying for a track they can’t afford to just sit not making any money.
