Re: Drag strip opportunity in West Virginia
this is an old airport that was closed, The whole county has 25K people living in it. anyone that would invest in the track would be throwing money away

Re: Drag strip opportunity in West Virginia
Cool looking place but when I go to Google Earth that doesn't look much like it unless they've done a LOT of earth moving since 2019.
I don't think the low population is a problem as long as there is an above average ratio of racers to non racers. |

Re: Drag strip opportunity in West Virginia
I have seen a couple in car camera videos going down that track at one of the 2 events they had.. and it is by far the roughest track I have ever seen.. they parked mining equipment on it for all the years it sat vacant.. I wish for all the WV racers this would be a solution to not having a track anywhere in the state..
