Down Hill Tracks

[Bob Mulry]

Coming back from INDY in 2004 we raced at Tri-State in Earlville.

I was going to visit my brother in Janesville, Wisconsin so I showed up a few days early to see about dropping our trailer. The rest of the crew headed out to the Field of Dreams.

I was met by the owner and invited it to drop the trailer and he gave me a guided tour in his Caprice with his puppy sitting on the back of the front seat.

What he told me was that the track was all concrete, family was in the business, Laser leveled and downhill 13' because NHRA gives you 1% (13.2') before a correction and sand blasted to rough it up. Still driving, we went up the shut off, down the return road and stopped in the level pit area. There was an uphill area to get to the staging lanes, because they ran downhill to the water boxes.

This is what you get when a plan for a racetrack comes together and it didn't hurt that they are a family of racers..

I love that place.....
