Lapeer, Michigan Dragway
Evidently Lapeer Dragway was sold and the guy who bought it is fixing it up. Take a look.

Re: Lapeer, Michigan Dragway
I'm originally from Toledo and hung out at Milan and Detroit Dragway in the 60s. Good to see more racing in Michigan. Name sounds French, is this on the Upper Peninsula?

Re: Lapeer, Michigan Dragway
God Bless him. It's an interesting story when you find out where the guy got his money to buy and fix the place up. Some folks have commented about the place being narrow. But looks like he's done a good job with it.

Re: Lapeer, Michigan Dragway
I Love that someone is putting money into that track. Is it just me or does it look a bit narrow?

Re: Lapeer, Michigan Dragway
Do you think they will ever have a "race a cop "day at the track?

Re: Lapeer, Michigan Dragway
Yes. Don’t quote me but I think they run a limited schedule. 1/8 mile too if I remember right.
