I thought this deserved it's own thread, so I copied what I put in the goals for this year thread here.

Just a fyi for southern alberta peoples, I talk quite frequently with the secretary/treasurer and they have the land bought. That's right all 86 000ish has been raised and the paperwork has been submitted for the available government grants. A couple local companies have said they'd sponsor lanes once it's up and running, of course the more donations the quicker the ball can get rolling. So to all the nay-sayer's it IS happening and not 10 years from now. The plan is for a 1/4 mile track that meets nhra regulations, along with stands, a tower with bathrooms, meeting rooms, concession, etc. They also have the plans to eventually make the 1/4 a straightaway section of a roadcourse. Along with that is plans for an RV park and possibly a storage facility. For more info or to donate and help pave the way the website is tailwindraceway.net

 

Sounds excellent. The big dummies at city hall (Calgary) need to give their heads a shakeit:

 

Yea what a joke. Hopefully you guys can get something else setup up there. BUT in the mean time come help out with the fort macleod track! It's closer than the medicine hat or edmonton ones.

 

Very true. We will see. I'm sure I do not have to say this but if I showed it would be minus the GT500:laughhard

 

I can't wait for the Fort Macloud Track! It seems like it has been forever in the planning/ rumor stage. Lets get this thing built!

 

That's some good news!! I sure hope that the people that got the last dragstrip shut down in Lethbridge don't try to close this new one!! BTW, I'm the guy in town that drives the green SVO. Thanks for sharing.
