Someone I was talking to recently (probably was in BG) said there was going to be 4 lanes at the drag strip.... so if one of the lanes got oiled down.... you just jump over to the lane beside it...

The pics only appear that there is 2 lanes.... like normal.....

Looks 1st class none-the-less.....

Wish it was in my back yard...

Nice pics... I was gonna take some new ones this past weekend, but didn't have the camera with me.

From the looks on Sunday they are even farther along then these pics show...

Those lanes look pretty wide to me.

Any chance of having a mini Turbo Buick meet at the new strip this fall?

a 100% chance Sully & I will be there trying it out, & if Keith would quit tearing his cars apart he would probably show up.

only four-lane drag strip

My understanding is that it will have the normal (2) lanes for running down the track, and have a return lane on each side next to the regular lanes. Not (4) lanes for running down the track.

Shane has mentioned wanting to put something together there on a larger scale... AKA TB.com Nationals.

In the past we've had smaller gatherings of 20-30 cars get together at either Mooresville or Farmington 1/8 mi. dragstrips. I have a feeling we'll be focusing our efforts on the "Zmax" strip this fall!! :biggrin:

That would be awesome. Hopefully a group of us SC guys can make it up that way. Charlotte is about the same distance for me as the Darlington track.
