I heard that a dragstrip was going to be built in Windham Connecticut. Does anyone know anything about this project , is this for real or just some rumor. Does anyone live in that area that can post photos?

It's going to be an 1/8 mile strip in Windham CT. Along with fairgrounds for other events. The latest info can be found on this webite. Looks like plans are going foward and should be open this summer. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the info did they brake ground yet or is it still in the planning stage? Can you get photos of the location and/or progress ?

I doubt they have broken ground yet. Here in CT we have had a lot of snow this year. This past week it has finally been warm enough for most of the snow to melt. I may take a ride by the proposed site next month when fishing season starts and I will be in that part of the state then.
Maybe someone who lives in that part of the state can check it out sooner?

Thought they might have started last fall. We're sick of the snow here in Vt , ready for some spring weather. Lebanon Valley is my home away from home but still looking forward to another strip in the northeast !

We're about 100 miles from Lebanon Valley and 150 from Epping. Sure am glad to have an NHRA national event in New England !
