Liberal Five State Raceway closes for 1971 season
The Liberal Five-State Raceway has shut down for the 1971 season due to financial losses. Manager Irven Lambert said recent programs lost money, prompting the board to cancel remaining summer dates while planning three big races next year. The facility still lists a NHRA world championship event, state meet, and other major shows for the 1972 season.
