Starting a new place to race?

They've been trying forevAr! Looks like they might finally pull through though. Man that would be nice.

That would be awesome, check out some of the old photos they've got :banana:

anybody have any idea where they are planning to build? they said it was a secret on the site, but would it be close to the cities?

Where was the original Minnesota Dragways that closed in '77?

Their goal has been to keep it within 45 minutes of the cities. They were looking around Faribault, but that got shot down last Dec. Hopefully this new place will be good.

i believe thats my buddies uncle that is starting this new strip, he had plans for south of cottage grove for a while if im not mistaken from what my buddy said

It would really be nice to have a MN strip besides brainerd.

should be correct... this place is 5 minutes outside fargo, ND. in MN.

Ya, that still blow's me. I was talking about something around the twin cities.

They could shut down 94 E from brooklyn center to west broadway, friday night to saturday night and let use race. :3gears:

lol, i was reading your post then looked at your screen name and it seemed to fit really well!

Why not the Diamond/car pool lane in the middle of 394?

So... did these guys just disappear? The site doesn't work anymore. I guess I quit following it awhile back. Anyone know what happened?

Re: Dragways
 

There are plenty of local drag strips. That's why they invented the interstate!

Not sure, but on the subject someone just bought BIR. Maybe the same group?

Re: Dragways
 

It's the guys that were trying to start Pine Run, Jed Copham I believe is his name. They tried 2 different spots and neither went thru. So they bought BIR and there will be some track improvements over the coming years. Such that there can be 2 or more events held at the same time. This is a good idea because it will drop some of the insurance costs for the organizers, thus dropping entry fees.
