Possible new Dragstrip in CT??

[lvd2340]

would be nice for once to see a track opening instead of closing, 1/8th mile or not.

1/8 miles stinks!!!! in the story I just read he is speaking on behalf of all drag racers. he also arranges completely useless 100 ft crap!!!!!!! the guy (jay)trying to do it should just go back to hiding under his rock.

I would like and support more facilities but not this guy.

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.

I agee with George ,, it will be tough to open a new track in ct ,, talk with consumer reports may be Colchester can be bought back to life

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it useless. I take any track opening in this god awful state.

x's-2 . an 1/8 mile track would be fine with me. it would be a nice option to be able test locally. 30 min. ride for me vs. 1.45 min. to LVD. or 2.5 hours to NED. plus the awfull traffic going to NED. . i would save alot on travel expense. and if it does wind up under the ihra sanction. that's great too. it would be nice to get a couple ihra races back up north. now that empire is getting redone. maybe ihra will have a presence in the northeast again.
