There is a new track coming to crandalle.... however you spell it..
IHRA sanctioned... 1/4 mile track......
www.dallasraceway.com
is the website... I verified by tracking down all the dallasraceway with .com .net .org.
all owned by a guy in crandalle.....
I guess the track was suppose to open 2 or 3 years ago.. but sanctioning issues have held it up and money I guess.... This is what I have learned from a few guys that live right by it... Also people contesting and fighting the track there.. the locals over there.

Read the prices. No way in hell i am paying that much to run my car down a 1/4 mile track. 1/8 mile will get it done for alot less and less of a drive.

You read the prices and didn't notice that it's not a drag strip? The original poster never said he was looking for a new drag strip. How do you know he meant drag strip?

Well the whole thread has been centered around drag stripes around the dfw area. I thought the place you posted had a road coarse and dragstrip. But still lets be honest those prices are outrageous.

If you become a member ... then I would agree. I certainly can't afford it.

But groups like NASA-TX, The Driver's Edge and Texas Driving Experience will be "sanctioning" events there and the price becomes ~$300 a weekend and no membership fees.

I've been doing this kind of thing since 1999 when Motorsports Ranch - Cresson opened.

Once I began going to road courses instead of drag strips, I have saved a boat load of cash on torn up cars. Brakes and tires are about the only expense.

Currently, I spend about $1200/yr on tires and $400 on brakes. That yields ~50 twenty minute sessions.

the main reason most people don't build a 1/4mile track in DFW is that they wont be able to get an NHRA event... the main reason to build a large facility is to draw the big names and the big crowds, why try when you can't get those things...
