Similar to MN Dragways, maybe it will happen.

When I had my shop in Auburn Washington in the early 90's, we used to bitch about SIR being too much of a drive and there was a lot of talk about a new strip being put in around the area. The thing I remember about this was that it was the same kind of talk and responses from people as the whole MN Dragway thing. Not many believed it would ever happen including me. The internet wasn't a big deal back then so there wasn't much in the way of support that way, all the talk was just word of mouth through the racing circles.

Now, I go back to show Josh info on SIR and I keep seeing reference to this other strip. Turns out they did get it done and put the damn thing like 10 minutes from my old shop. GRRRR. At any rate, half of this is venting about that, the other half is that maybe there is some hope of getting a strip up locally within the not too distant future. We never would have believed it would happen out there either. More people, same issues with noise and there are even more tree huggers out there to fight it. Maybe we should all start putting a little support behind MN dragways and see if we can end up with a better place to run. One things for sure, it couldn't hurt and the more support it has, the better the chance of it coming to reality.
