Dragstip coming to Minneapolis.

Here are a few articles.  Looks like they finally bought the land in Lino Lakes.  This would be huge for the racing/car crowd in this town.  Hopefully all the people who have been hiding their cars will start bringing them back out.....

That was the organization Dave was talking about many times a few years back. I hope it works out but personally, ill believe it when I see it.

Yeah, Not sure how the locals will react. Would be nice to have something that close. I think we discussed it on here a while back too.

Wow.. another big track looking for national events to pay the bills... Even Nascar is looking at contracting its schedule..

Id be happy to have a Tri state sized strip close to home... something like the old Minnesota dragways.

Yes, we have seen attempts like this at least 2 other times in the last 5 years or so. I also would like to see something close to home and I would support it so lets hope for the best!

Found an update on facebook---
search HUGE CAR SHOW MINNESOTA

Looks like they're going to hold a show at Running Aces on 10/16 11-4pm as a teaser to gain interest in the track. Looks like details to follow.

Also, RKC MN is aka RiceKillers, they have a monday night meeting at Friendly Chevrolet. have to do some searching for them. Looks like all makes welcome. I haven't seen them yet, but I plan on staying one night just to check them out.
