Dragway 42 - got an update

So I was at the Piston Power/Autorama and 42 had a table there.
I begin just looking things over and see a bunch of pictures and strike up a conversation.
Turns out the old track had core sample done and was not going to fly, so the plan is a new track to run along where the old was, at a bit of an angle to get even more length for shutdown on top of moving the start line back.
So now they feel July will be a date to keep our eyes on especially due to the cold and crappy weather.
They are also going back to the 42 entrance, no longer on Jeffrey.
It is nice to know they are taking this very seriously and will be a new track when they open.
Anybody hear anything else?

I am on the west side of Cleveland and hope to meet you some day at the track. I am sure some drawings will showup soon.Maybe someone will go to the show today and take a pic of the prints they are showing at the power show.

I got this pic on another site and there will be more posted on DW42 web site I hear.

just got off dw42s web site they said the track will be 4000 feet with the first 300 feet cooled and a 200 foot sand trap at the end looks like they are going to bring this place back to life

The info also said the track will be sunk in the ground 15 feet.

If it s 15 ft deep it should be cool ground temp there is 50 year round

Yep and that will help the concrete stay together but I worry a little about the dew with that in mind.
