Default Latest info on 75-80

Hey guys, I'm new to this sight, but have been local to the 75-80 scene since the early nineties. Just heard from a VERY reliable source yesterday that the track will open at the latest by July, with the possibility to open as soon as April. The starting line will be moved forward 300 feet, so you drive through the burnout box on up to the starting line instead of backing in. The track will be eighth mile and the entire racing surface is going to be concrete! I will post any other info as it comes to me, but for now, to the best knowledge of my source this is NOT A JOKE.

Well wont be going to 75-80 if its 1/8 mile, probably wouldn't go if it was 1/4 mile anyways. That track was the worst anyways going down the return road bottoming out. No traction, I went there with my stock SS and spun all the way to the 1/8 mile. I guess its still crapitol for me!

Any idea how old those pics are? Appears to be a lil snow on the ground but there's still some trees growing out of the staging lanes.

That's some good stuff...I'm only 20-25 mins away. It'd be great to have a track that close again!
