            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?

                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...

                              I'm thinking it would be very tough and expensive to actually build a new track. But... maybe he's thinking about using an airport in the area ???

                                    Spoke with another racer at BIR Thursday afternoon and supposedly the dirt work is in progress and he's hoping to open the gates next year.

                                    shrug

                                    He had info on where it is but I wasn't doing real well following his directions.
