I watched this video and was amazed at how the plan is coming together. Good luck to these guys and can't wait to see the finished project. May only be on t.v. or pictures, but still can't wait to see the outcome of this effort.

They are planning to have a bracket race in October. Only one hour from my house.

Is that Kurt Johnson of pro stock fame?

I believe he is the guy that has been repairing drag strips accross the country.

Yeah, someone had told me Kurt Johnson, warrens son, was the guy doing it, sure didn’t look like him. Lol. Anyway he is supposed to help us13 upgrade their surface also so was just wondering. Sorry to go off subject

WOW, Talk about the neat equipment he has for scraping the track I think all NHRA tracks should have this machine instead of using the old fashion hand scraping Just talking out loud lol at me /mechanize-track-scraper-dryer/ Click on the website then click on the equipment to see the neat equipment he has

Immediate thought: Motorplex repeated but with 2023 technology. We've had so much bad news about legendary tracks closing that this is a very welcome change. I hope it is wildly successful and starts a new trend.

I know nothing of the owner, but it's apparent he's comitted to building the best venue possible. I don't even want to think about the asphalt cost or how much all that great construction equipment has cost him already.
