I love the smell of nitro & burning rubber. It smells like................HORSEPOWER!!!
TT, can you imagine an NHRA national event in the Flint area?

| Hey Dave, would you mind if they put it in YOUR neighborhood? Just wondering, I think it would be torture for the people who live near it. |

I'd be all for it. We already have motorcycles & assorted wanna-be hot rodders racing up & down the street every night. At least a drag strip would have scheduled hours. On the other hand, those clowns' cars couldn't pass the safety inspection.
It would make more sense to have it in a less populated area, though. Another thing - to do it right, you need a stretch at least 3/4 of a mile long, and preferably a mile long. The nitro cars could use at least a 1/2 mile to get stopped. It takes a lot to stop a car going 300+ mph. To me, that would eliminate the Bluff St. location people are speculating about. |

There's speculation in the Journal that Bluff St., near Chevy in the hole is being looked at. |

What would make sense instead of 1/4 mi drags would be 1/8 mi . Less top end speed less room needed still a lot of fun.

| I'd support it. After seeing all the great local cars on the Bricks, and with our natural tie-in to the automotive industry, I'd be perfectly happy to have a multi-use competition area: drags, carts, drifting, cruises, all of it. Sound can be minimized with natual berms. Location is key. Let's use google maps and start making a list of proposed spots. |
