Possible new Dragstrip in CT??

I think the only way we'll see a new dragstrip anywhere in New England would be if it was added to an already existing race track. 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile, build it, they will come.

I do find it interesting that Thompson is rebuilding it's old road course and plans on holding road racing events and just up the road in Palmer a group with the SCCA is build a complete new road racing facility. I didn't think that type of racing was that popular in this area.

I do have to agree with Jimi, the 100' drags is quite the joke, I've seen it a few times and it doesn't resemble anything we do here.
