As some of you might know, The Westhampton Race Facility is going to be sold to a housing developer with plans to......well build more houses. Currently, the zoning laws prohibit residential construction on the track site. This news was also featured in Newsday, a local paper of the New York Area.
This is the last drag strip on Long Island and the only other race venue out there is Riverhead which caters to the oval crowd.

Even if drag racing is not your style, raced there and disliked it, or never ran there, please sign the petition below as your vote and signature still counts.

As some of you racers know, tracks across the US are slowly closing up as the need for more shopping malls, housing developments, and golf courses arise Here is your chance to give a little of your time and help to prevent win for corporate greed.

367 along with the nice comment of "These tracks are harder and harder to come by, killing tracks is killing a culture"

379---hey  DragonReborn214, where are ya from man.....Long Island I'm asssuming.  What part, I'm in western Suffolk and had a chance to drag my 240 this past summer.  I think it totally sux that drag strips are closing up.  We need to keep the WestHampton facility up and running, it would be a real shame to see it go, even if the track is really a wreck....lol.

I don't race and I don't think I ever would.  But if I wanted to I have to drive 3 hours to the nearest drag track.  That's a pain in the ass just to get some ETs.  How do those G-Techs work?  It said my 0-60 was 7.85.  That seems fast.
