supposed to be 2 in california. one in north central I-5 raceway and one in the 909 drag city dont know much about the I-5 track, but the banning track has been in 'development' for 5 years or so. they're the guys who 'commissioned' the surfers aa/fd repop from foster. there is more drama and speculation surrounding the developers than i care to go into....we'll see how the two fare.
Hey guys Here in Texas we have a ****load of tracks some are new some are old. I could list them all but it would take to much time. Also the tracks around where I live run year round.
One is under construction in Pierre South Dakota, NHRA, 1/4 mile. Earthwork is done, they are in litigation with some **** that moved in from California that is fighting them. Also, a group in Hot Springs South Dakota is working towards a 1/4 mile track. They have land bought and are in fundraising mode.
we go to TEA thundervalley, all the time been going for decades, would be fu nto have another ,but yeah some one allways stirs **** up
that is nice , hope we can get one going here ,this is the site, http://www.skyviewdrags.com/news.html
Man am I glad to see that new Drag Strips are being built. I hear of old ones occasionally that are being closed down and it always bums me out. Here in CT we lost Ct. Dragway back in the early 80's and there isn't a chance in hell that a track will ever be built again here. Real Estate is just too expensive and the locals would never allow it. The only possible way is if the Indian Tribes here build one on their reservations.
Less than 30 mies from our driveway to the gate, lie's Earlville Iowa amd Tri-State Raceway NHRA. The 1/4 mile track is all CONCRETE! It's been running for awhile, not brand new.
i've got a field behind my house. 1/4 mile plus a shutdown area. measured it. will win lottery. make strip.
Got a new 1/8th about 20 miles south of Omaha on the Iowa side of the river. Still got our old 1/4, about 70 miles west of town too...in the cornfields--IHRA track
Word is there is even a new one planned for the southern north Island of NZ around Levin somewhere from memory..... Sydney Australia jsut opened a new one and its pretty impressive by the sounds.....
New international dragstrip in Western Sydney, Australia. Opened early this year, full quarter, grandstands both sides. Big dollar venue thats really great. Also pushing for one in Canberra, a lot of people invoved and has good support, several sites earmarked for the strip. Cheers and beers Jimbob
