Texas World Speedway, OCIR, Riverside and Ontario are all gone, and before Hurricane Harvey happened, Texas World felt like it had another comeback in it just to see its 75th Birthday. The Orange County International Raceway plan has been taken across America with Heartland Park Topeka, which is twice the age of OCIR at its close, and Phoenix Firebird (Original Name) now Wild Horse Pass.
Ontario still being the Original Super Speedway for literally everything and I would feel like we have not had an all new Dragstrip in the NHRA since zMax Dragway was built. And, with the constant fights just to keep Riverside alive still burning Southern California's History and the fact the Riverside Museum fell apart and that fenced off Sports Car Racing in this Country.
Texas World Speedway was the one that constantly hung on and reinvented itself as a Club Track and that was before the economy lost it. I feel like the good people of Bryan-College Station take infrastructure seriously and not Sports Entertainment. I feel that there has to be a good replacement for Texas World in spirit because we do not have enough Superspeedways or new Superspeedways.
