This was talked about a loooong time ago, someone posted something about a "speed" park in New Kent or around about there, it looked pretty cool, but not realistic. Only way to keep prices down are to have big names back it up, not only business's!

Something intresting i found out of a article:
-- "The Northern California Drag Racing Association, which runs the drag strip near Redding Municipal Airport, will make a fair and legitimate request tonight that council members should approve without hesitation. It's asking the city for a $70,000 loan so a local paving contractor can resurface about a half-mile of the track. The association will pay the city back over five years at 3 percent interest"

thats just to resurface... so your looking at 100K+ just to make the track.... her is more info

-- "The street-legal drags are affordable ($5 a carload for spectators and another $10 to race) and provide enjoyable family entertainment. Many folks bring their barbecues for a day or night at the races."

See that is more like it, Richmond and Dinwiddie would lose a lot of their business if someone opened one up for $5 a car load! and $10 to race!

-- "Redding race officials have a good track record with the city on a previous loan. They borrowed $25,000 at 6 percent interest in 1997 to pay for lighting and repaid their debt in full in April 2002. We'd say they're an excellent risk."
