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.

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

Re: Dragways

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!

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.
