Plans for the new dragstrip out here in western Washington (Shelton area) have stalled. It seems once the roadcourse was put in, issues among the powers that be, put the strip on the fast track to nowhere. Our fingers are crossed, but no one is holding their breath.

I was just by the area yesterday. There were cars on the road course and I watched for awhile from the main road. I saw NO evidence of any progress on the drag strip. It looks like the ongoing battles among the powers that be have hampered the progress of a drag strip. Still we are hopeful of completion in the future (someday soon?). The facility is HUGE and would be a great financial boon to the area.

P.S. Danny at my age (64 very soon) I don't dare hold my breath for anything. I might not recover.

Bret,
I finally got to shake hands with Tom P.
I ran into him while I was working as Race Director for Hot Rod Drag Week.
It was nice to see the face and hear the voice of the guy behind the keyboard.
Back in the early 2000's It was fun sending info to you guys about the tracks I knew of. Hope your data turns out good. I can't wait for the Drag Racing History Lesson.
