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.
