Brummer was the one that ran Interstate last year.
Seems nobody around here (Fargostreet) likes him because he wouldn't work with Tintmasters to do the street legal days.
Brummer is no longer running Interstate and apparently is trying to build his own track 45min SE of Fargo (so what, Fergus Falls?).One of the regular racers I talked to said a lot of those guys liked him because he'd cut payout checks at the end of the day (instead of you maybe not getting your money period).
I've heard that as well as a few other things.
I can say though that there is a very good probability that the track will be run completely different come next season.

I'd really find it hard to believe anyone would have luck getting a new track off the ground (especially that close to Brainerd). Hell, they can't even manage to get a track built down closer to the cities.

You say that as in you dont think I-Drags will be running? Or as in the "New Track" in Fergus wont be running?

The facilities need improvement if they hope to attract anybody...oh I don't know... Track surface seems decent (as long as it gets prepped). Next step I guess is more paved area out there, but as long as it's dry I don't know that it's really necessary.
I know I was doing the car thing for a couple years before I ever knew it was out there. Since then (8 years later) I've heard 1 ad talking about it.
Have they ever tried something like the 'High School' drags out there?

interesting...i know the $650,000 pricetag they want for IDrags is ridiculous..Lol. If that were the real price I would already own it.
As for Brummers track...People say Greg pockets are not deep enough. Others say his pop's are though.
I really dont know. Greg is a good guy, but I get along with Ron and Clyde too.
Another track close by = BONUS to racers.I just hope all you fuckers behave this weekend, You are the ones keeping the track going.
I appreciate that, but please dont fuck things up where we dont have a track anymore.Beer is on me while it lasts.

i dont see anything in fergus or pelican lasting too well... how many times has the circle track shut down in fergus, and if ppl down there were actually into drag racing they'd make the 40min trip to sabin... ppl would maybe run one time there and then not come back... and pelican is out in the middle of nowhere...
