Drag races will continue in Roswell, AZ. The city has agreed to lease an airstrip to a local hot rod group.

According to the Daily Record, the legal committee unanimously agreed to lease the runway at the Roswell International Air Center to NHRA-member Alien City Dragway for $500 a month.

Opponents say the 35-acre runway would net much more money renting as airplane storage, but the president of Alien City Dragway says the drag races generate revenue from visitors and the company has been improving the runway with its own money.
