I was told the shut down area is only 1200 feet long. How can they race on the quarter mile with 180+ mph T/D & Q/R cars? I heard about someone who went there a few weeks back and bracket raced their 8.40 dragster and isn't going back. And they were only racing 1/8th mi then. He said the staging lanes were quite small and if you don't get there early to park you'll have a problem. I'm sure they would be trying to spruce the place up but you need a certain amount of acreage to house 150+ 70 foot long rigs and race cars. And no gravel return/pit roads would be nice too...
