May have a new drag strip in SE Michigan
Someone here in the Port Huron area is trying to get approval for a sports complex that includes a 1/4 mile track. Unfortunately the article doesn't have the drawing that was printed in the newspaper.

I was hoping to attend the township board meeting where they discuss the project this week, but I havea prior commitment on Thursday night and won't be able to make it.

That would be pretty sweet....its still probably about the same distance as Milan Dragway from my area (unless I'm horribly mistaken)...maybe they won't be as busy as Milan.

...ok scratch the distance, its about twice as far. [:@]

this is interesting!
hey, the more the merrier.. it just sucks Ubly is closed down now, 2 years ago I got 22 runs in there with the stang, one after another
then last year I got 17 runs in with the lincoln, only 2 or 3 cars used to go there, it was great

One of my co workers dad is trying to buy it he offered them 1.5 million for it. They have not said anything though. Anyone know how far it is away from me compared to lapeer?

Iwhine, if you are in Macomb I think it is closer to you than Lapeer. The location is just off I-94. Head up I94 toward Port Huron, get off at Gratiot (Marysville exit) and turn right on Range to go back about a half mile, or get off at St. Clair and maneuver around the back of St. Clair to Range and go about 2 miles.
I'm hoping that he gets the approval, would be nice to have another track with Ubly closed, and to have a nice track where it isn't quite as crowded as Milan. Plus it is a lot closer for me.
