If they couldn't pull it off with their money I don't see how this guy will be able to. 1969 Plymouth Road Runner 440 auto 2017 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 5.7 Hemi

Nice to hear someone is at least trying, as much as I'm old school and its "quarter mile or nothing" I'd support the effort and even attend an 1/8 mile facility. "I think its got a hemi"

Hmmm...I'm sure you're right...CT Dragway was pretty cool..got to see it in the 80's before she was sold to Consumer Reports.

Was involved a little in passing out fliers for the original "save our track" effort and watched the efforts of the owner of Port-a-tree? try to get a track going in the MA-CT-RI area. There was a lot of noise about a track going in at an old airstrip in RI but the "not in my backyard" crowed killed it dead. I think they even did a trip to Englishtown to show the town officials what a real track looked like. Not sure about the Port-a-tree details, been a long time.. "I think its got a hemi"

Used to get my dad to take us every chance we could, but just being able to hear the cars from my front yard was awesome! Watching the racers haul their cars past my house is something I will never forget. Really hurt when they shut down in the 80's. I now live in Oregon and we have a 1/4 mile facility 15 miles away in Woodburn. Every July they host the Northwest Mopar Nationals. A great time for sure!
