New dragway in Tenn?

This track has been there a long time, but a lot of people are surprised to see it when passing, as it sits right off the expressway. A racing friend of mine, jim howe, that I raced with back at Detroit Dragway in the 1970's, moved down to the area and ran the track for all these years. The only problem with the track the time I was there a few years ago, was a lot of rocks in the pit area got carried to the staging lanes on the slicks. While getting ready to make a run, I made the mistake of circling behind a car doing a burnout, instead of waiting till he was finished, and got a nice door "ding" in my new paint job. But I always thought Jim tried hard and did the best he could running the track. Am glad to see it getting turned into a premier race track.
