Looks like a nice facility. To bad it's near Quaker City. I doubt if that area can support 2 tracks. It's really to bad it's not in the SE Michigan.

Honestly Doug it's been supported pretty well for many years, Dragway 42, Quaker City, and Magnolia are all within 45 minutes of my house and all have done pretty good. Also have Norwalk and Thompson each 90 minutes from me.

I have 4 tracks within 65-70 miles and they have been getting better car counts the last couple of years. 42 should be real close to that distance also.

I rode out there on my Hayabusa being such a nice day[70*] and they were finishing the staging lanes and there was a steady flow of truck going in.

I've been following it on Facebook and can't wait to go there. Hopefully Micheal Beard will have a big race there in 2017. Wouldn't it be great if Josh (monster mopar) could too

That sure looks awesome I think we should plan a Moparts get together out there in the spring when they open for test and tune shruggy
I like to stand there and look down at the track from the road and try to remember what it used to look like when we went the other way down the track laugh2
I'm glad my car will be ready when they are thumbs
