Do you have any plans for next season? like a sport compact/street legal bracket series (other than TM) or some diesel events type thing. Maybe if theres some extra land you could get a sled pull in there i know i'd go watch that for sure.this

Maybe if theres some extra land you could get a sled pull in there i know i'd go watch that for sure.Many many plans for next seaston. Import day/s, Bike day/s, possibly a diesel day (they tear up the track so damn bad though).
I am also buying the 17 acres to the north (grass lot to your right after you pass the ticket booth and are driving in) so lots of room for other things.

Any thing planned to keep the dirt off the track? Esp on street days?Yes, main thing will be employees actually working the staging lanes and stoping someone with mud or debris on it. Also the entire staging lanes will be "contained", I'm going to put of some sort of retaining wall so that the only way to enter the staging lanes is on the road. It will also be inforced that any street car being brought onto the track will be inspected in the wheel well and any with mud, dried mud or the sort crap on them they will have to clean it out in order to be cleared to race.

Enlighten me, I haven't heard about the latest acquisition of the 1/4 mile dragstrip know as Interstate Dragways.Any talk about putting up lights??? That's been my big beef with the strip here---no running in the cooler night air. My times were only off by about 2-3 tenths between here and RMR near Salt Lake---and that was at 4800' . The heat of the day really takes its toll....
I know one of the reasons for no lights was because of the last remaining homestead nearby that the occupants were there before the strip and wouldn't sign off on the noise after dark, but that was more than 10 years ago that I heard that. I don't know if they're still around or not...
How would it be to go out to the strip for a Friday night test-and-tune and some grudge matches? That, a place to cruise (Broadway was never that good), and a decent drive-in again (the A&W drive-in is now a bank) is all we need after that

It is for the most part the home owner causing the inability of the night races. More so when the CUP (condition use permit) was written to allow the dragstrip to be operated on that land, he as well as a few others i believe stressed there concern of races going longer then 1 hour before sunset. So when they wrote the CUP they included in there that the hours of allowed operation were 9am to 1 hour before sunset. So honestly even if the old guy had agreed to allowing night races or was bought off by someone to allow it, it would have violated the CUP and if anyone from the commissioners office had seen it or heard of it, it would have put the entire track in danger of being shut down and them loosing the CUP.
I am working and getting this fixed but its going to take awhile to push all the zoning threw so actual night races most likely wont be a reality until the 2012 season.
However, like above I am currently aloud to race until 1 hour before sunset, so the Friday night races will go until 9-10 (depending on how far out we can call "sunset").

Right, and I could be wrong, but in my specific example, I think they had actually gotten permission from the other residents around and/or the Sheriff/County. It was awhile ago that they last tried to get around the issues. Either way, its unfortunate, but good luck changing everything!
