Answer.

I found out all of this from the guy who is the special events coordinator for this new facility. Things are moving along right now on this project and they are looking to have some things going on this summer. They have an NHRA official involved in this venture and I heard they may also have a very well known NHRA racer coming in as an investor in the facility. As I hear more information I will pass it on, I know a web site is in the process of being developed not sure when it will be available.

A new racing facility is great news. I can name at least a dozen that have closed down due to public pressure and politics.

Answer.

This site has been approved for Motorsports and they are looking to hold some Auto Cross events as early Feb. or March. The drag strip is still pending final civil plan submittal, safety and sanctioning. The first of the week they are meeting with the contractor to go over what needs to be done with the concrete runway to meet drag racing requirements. I have been invited to visit the site tomorrow so I will provide further update sometime tomorrow.
