I want a local drag strip

Just sharing

I wonder if I/we could actually make this happen. Even an 1/8mile would be ok.

I think with your Rock Star Statues in this town. And with your connections. I think you could pull it off. I'd be down for meetings to get some sponsors.

I would be down with organizing this.

Pros:
1. Lots of people up here have vehicles they race, or would like to race
2. We could do winter drags (sleds, 4x4 whatever)

Cons:
1. Land up here is stupid expensive.
2. Insurance for a strip is not cheap.
3. Start up cost is a lot.

Con Solutions:
1. Look for land as far away from town, but a good drive distance: eg. 15 km's
2. Look for monetary sponsors.

It would be a good idea to do a 1/8 mile first to see the popularity, then later move on to a 1/4 mile when there is a good foot in the ground.

I mean, a quarter mile isn't that far of a stretch even to begin with. And even if you had to travel, lets say, anzac-ish. it still wouldn't be that far.

Anzac-ish huh! Nice try homeboy, nothing like having it in your back yard eh!

Im moving to town come december. So, it won't be in my back yard.

Congrats! Moving up in the world.

Ya a 1/4 mile would be 2 times initial start up costs, 2 times insurance cost and almost 2 time the land!
