Island Dragway is part of a 499 ac. tract. The track itself is on a 26+/- tract. IF....IF it was financially advantageous, if the track were turned on a 20/30 degree angle to the left (from the starting line) a track about a mile long could be built. Easily a Natl. Event caliper track! But why? Where is the financial incentive for an investment like that?
Island Dragway could copy the Galot Divisional. Galot runs the .90's and Top classes to 1000', Stk/SS and comp on the 1/8th. Both tracks have the same shutdown distance. I raced TS at Galot and had a good time, no issues. The only thing is, Island would need to invest in jersey barriers in order to have a Divisional or an Open I believe.
