It will cost alot .. i do construction work and i know alot of precision has to go into the actual making of the track plus areas for the food and vendor stands but mostly the track is the most precise thing about a strip. Anyway if you wanna pm me with your number i can ask around at my job site which is on LAFB and i can get an estimate on how much it would be to preform such and nice sounding plan. PM ME IF YOUR INTERESTED....

I almost forgot there is a friend of mine who says he knows a guy in smithfeild who owns a small runway and he "says" that we could roll over there on night and drag because it under the guys ownership but we would have to sign some sort of waver to avoid the onwer beign sued in case someone wants to pull another K-MART crash.

not so my friend, i belive that anyone who really wanted to race their vehicle would gladly dish over 10-20 bucks a day to race their cars. Street racing is free, but keep in mind, on the street, there are Police, pedistrians, traffic, turns, potholes all sorts of stuff.
A drag strip is like a sancuary for people who like to drive fast.
10-20 bucks is worth not getting a ticket to me
