Default New Drag Strip

Hey,

Just to let you all know. There is a new drag strip that opened in Tioga Center, Ny. It is located in the southern tier (upstate, ny). It opened the end of this passed summer, but Im not sure if any one mensioned any thing about it yet. Just figured Id say somethin since I dont know of mnay drag strips in up state Ny. So far they have attracted a lot of people, racers from Buffalo and Rochester attended the Fall classic.

Its Skyview drag strip Its an 1/8 mile strip, but is trying to plan on extending it. web address is www.skyviewdrags.com

Just figured Im mension it since I live right down the road and have been there a couple times.

Hope to see some of you guys there next yr.

- Pat

Christ, must be nice to live someplace that they actually open drag strips as opposed to close them down.

Nice, NY lost LID but gained this place, I would NEVER hike all the way up there for only an 1/8th mile track though.

The elavation there isn't going to be as good as E-town or atco or even island dragway. I'll stay closer and go quicker. You could loose 2-3 tenths with the elavation of skyview

well for what its worth t/acruiser, it was help to me. a buddy of mine lives upstate over the summer and i sometimes go up with him. he has a 70 chevelle that should be finished by summer time. if they do extend it to a quarter mile then i'll be over there more then once over the summer. thanks for the help. and dont worry about people knocking you for things. i got that crap all the time when i just joined the site.
