That would be a boost to the New England racers if it works out.But wait,oh oh, it will only be 1/8 mile.I remember the last thread about 1/8 racing.It turned out like showing a vampire a cross.

Some one a couple years ago tried to put a track in I think Plainville. this guy had big backing, including NASCAR. Zoning and others shot it down.

As much as I want it to happen ... I don't think so. And 1/8 th mile?
Nope.

would be nice for once to see a track opening instead of closing, 1/8th mile or not.

1/8 miles stinks!!!! in the story I just read he is speaking on behalf of all drag racers. he also arranges completely useless 100 ft crap!!!!!!! the guy (jay)trying to do it should just go back to hiding under his rock.

I would like and support more facilities but not this guy.
