It would be good to have another track, but still 2 hours and 20 minutes for me.

1hr plus for me! I thru this before about 25 minutes away and it never happened. I'll believe it when I make a pass down it

I've been in contact with him.
He has a long road ahead of him but he's doing It correctly by getting many different groups involved. Fingers crossed. |

with the proper motivation, deeeeep pockets, and good backing (like IHRA and others) it could be done. fingers crossed here as well.
with all the popular heads up classes these days running 1/8th, a new first class facility would have a good shot of making it imo. especially if the can also keep the "regular" guys happy as well. |

He is also planning on a 675 ft track to continue the 100 foot drags and also allow racers to test 60ft.

Well shoot- even if he succeeds it'll still be a 2 hour tow for me!

 If we'd get a track closer to home I could drive to the track and wouldn't even need to tow. The Leman is fully capable of driving that far, but it's a long way to have to run home to get the truck and trailer if something breaks!
