If you're interested in helping i think the best thing to do at this point is some good research.
Call VMP, Richmond Dragway, Elizabeth city dragway and see if you can get info on history, cost to build, blah blah blah.
Call some Police departments, find out how many accidents have been related to street racing in the past year.
Call VDOT and see how much it costs to actually pave a 1/4 mile stretch of road.
Those are the types of questions we need answered, firmly.
