It would be great if they made it a 1/4 mile. No more 115 mile drives to the track! Life would be even better for the Dez crew! They could just walk across the street if they need something and they get back to

I really hope this goes through. I really need to practice getting my 60 ft down and a 1/8th mile track sounds perfect. plus its soo much closer than epping

Anywhere in MA, is a good place, considering that we have no 1/4 mile tracks in this state. I'll take what ever we can get!!!!!!!

An 1/8 track doesn't sound all that great to me... sorry guys. I'm not big on lauching my cars really hard (to many things tend to brake) and that's what a 1/8 mile track is all about, the 60' time. I'd MUCH rather see a 1/4 mile track!!! But that's just my opinion...

An 1/8 track is better than No track or a 3 hour drive to the nearest 1/4

I couldn't build a car like that... what could you use it for other than 1/8 runs???

Sorry, but 1/8 mile just won't draw me in.

damn it would be cool if they make it, even if it is only 1/8. but sadly enough for us in north central CT there is no direct route there, so sadly enough LVD would still be quicker to go to for me they need to reopen colchester dragway again
