Regardless of how long it has been, if we can spread this out all over forums in the North/Eastern sections, maybe a boom in signatures will change something

I have looked into it a little more... Mohegan Sun wanted to re open the track and make something out of it. There is also a no drag racing law on Sunday in CT that was passed in the late 80s. I mean if Mohegan Sun got this up and running and it took this petition to do it then I am sure that law will disappear. I am going to do more research.

I think that's a different place. The CT Dragway was in Colchester.

You are correct. I thought this might have been the place becasue I know now they do testing at the track, but that says East Hamden
