Demolition Drag Race-Really? (1 Viewer)

[TopFuel@Lions]

I need a drink...National Trail Raceway in May is going to hold a "Demolition Drag Race." Two vehicles must hit each other once by the 60ft mark and before the 1/8mi. to make it a valid race, they can hit each other multiple times if they want to, sheez!

The word "absurd" immediately comes to mind. WTF

I seen that on the schedule, lol. I’m sure the track insurance would be thrilled with this.

I'll have to walk down to the track and check it out.

Who owns this track? I can think of a lot of descriptive adjectives for this, start with "dumb" and go from there.

Trails not the first......

Wow....I am shocked there were no John Force jokes.... keep up the good vibes guys!

this is exactly on par with the Florida Man stories..."Florida Man Invents New Form Of Motorsports, Will Be Out Of Hospital Soon"

Business partners Chris Payne and Todd Crossley went public with the purchase of NTR early in 2017, much to the surprise of the drag racing world. The duo already had acquired the troubled Heartland Park Topeka and had been working on making it a top notch facility again and intended to do the same with their newly purchased track.

It made me chuckle, I'd watch it.

Four wide is definitely the way to go. The others were just tapping each other then someone takes off.

Whatever helps keep the lights on is good in my book.

National Trails also does a Christmas lights drivethru and is packed most nights. Have to think outside the box to pay the bills.

It does seem very successful. I’m surprised a lot of tracks have not jumped into this.

I bet attendance going to be great. Most people are looking for a train wreck. Sad

Speedway in vegas has had huge chrismas lights drive thru for a long time

Went through the holiday lights at National Trails and I was shocked at the missed opportunity to promote the upcoming season. Why you wouldn’t hand out a schedule flyer or discount coupons for events next season? I realize this may be run by the company overseeing it but wow! There are probably thousands of people passing through each night.

I think there is a lot of uncertainty about 2021. Wild Horse has not posted 2021 events yet; even says the national meet is "tentative". argh

They have had a full schedule out for a while though.

I was referring to National Trails though. I get the uncertainty but Norwalk is already pushing pre sale tickets for next year although I certainly wouldn’t purchase ahead. The folks at National Trails must be optimistic about next season considering I believe they acquired some of the stands from Gainesville and are currently dismantling them to bring up here.
