Connecticut National Dragway ?

Mark Yacavone · 08-06-2014, 03:09 PM

Sounded like good news, but after reading through, it started to sound like Banning, Ca. or something.
Original property ...probably NOT being used..Two new parcels a possibility?
Opening in 2015?
Ever heard of winter? Connecticut Dragway was closed from Nov to March.

I hope you guys can find some good news here..I mean that.

Mark - Original location is now a test track for Consumer Reports.

Bob I think Mark was talking about the new tracks first planned location. I believe it was Windam Ct.? I believe zoning issues had them looking into another location in Chaplin Ct. but it still sounds a ways off.

When and WHY did the original track close? From that aerial photo, looks like the
magazine did some upgrades that aren't associated with a dragstrip...

Wonder if anyone asked about "renting" the facility for drag racing...even on a limited
basis?

A real shame...to lose that one.....
