- Keep - As with the multiple other racetracks the nom has suddenly AfD'd, racetracks have been are still are a major part of the cultural fabric of a city and region. That a ___location is "closed" has nothing to do with notability. The nom admittedly didn't follow WP:BEFORE and simply presumed the sources that were in the article at AfD were the only ones that existed. Not surprisingly it took seconds to find significant coverage on this race track. [1][2][3][4][5] --Oakshade (talk) 19:48, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
