I am surprised at cmbdiesel's post about the track having a negative impact. Far more often, tracks (and plenty of events) have the opposite effect.

It is entirely possible that without the tracks it would have been worse. There sure were a lot of the same cars from the track showing up for the street drags though. Of course that was a number of years ago, and the local cops just pretended it wasn't happening. Also, it was muscle cars, not ricers, and there seems to be a difference in the mentality of building a classic vs building a recent model year vehicle.
