No. It is going to be a circle track. No 1/4 mile.

Wonder how much it would cost to build a 1/4 and how much the tree, clock, and sensors cost.

hmmmmm, got an idea.

I bet all of the 1/8 mile tracks would go out of "bisnass".

there is a 1/4 mile track coming to sweetwater, and exit 407(the exit where mountain adventures is). unless my informants are mistaken the sweetwater track should be done this year, and the 407 by next.

Consider the paving and excavating cost would be nearly 100k. Plus then take into account insurance lights the tree and the walls. The grandstand, pits, sand trap and net. the parking lot. Easlily a couple hundred thousand plus the utilities and all the insurance every year.

we could start a 1/4 fund. I could sell my lyrics to P-Diddy or Ludacris....

ok, so back to the beginning, some say there is going to be and some say no. I guess we will have to just wait and see.

note: i didnt realize that it cost that much for a 1/4.
lol, maybe we could just all chip in and have a paved 1/4 mile stretch and someone with a stop watch stand out there for us. lol

I saw the track yesterday! It's beautiful!!!! They were giving free trips down the strips to the cars there, trying to get some rubber down on the track for this upcoming season!!!!

Oh joy. Two more drag strips. Maybe someday they'll start selling cars with steering wheels here so we can get a road course.

I think Tony racing the Neons caused a rift in the space-time continuum and opened a few worm holes. It is causing all of these 2 year old threads to pop up again.

Does anyone know the truth? Why doesn't someone just call them and ask. I think I have the guys business card somewhere. I'll call myself if I can find it.

We had to wait too long. They can go fuck themselves. Autocrossing is the new hotness.

the guy who owns german moto works is owns some land by there that hes going to be turning into a camp ground, they will have a circle dirt track to be paved eventually and a quarter mile track with quarter mile of stopping distance so they can run the NHRA top fuel dragsters, not sure when its supposed to be done but its definitly coming whities
