How to reopen a dragstrip?

The list of things to think about is long and $$$$$! How much will the property cost as is? Check with NHRA to find out what their specs are to run their races. Also check with AHRA for same. Then find out how much to meet these specs. What will need to be done to bring property up to current local codes? Insurance? You will need to get qualified people to prep the track using the special equipment that is needed and they should also be qualified to be the starting line crew. Don't forget the fire safety crew.
I'm not saying don't try. I'm saying it is going to be a whole LOT of money to open the doors the first day. Look for nothing but longs days and no let up for a long time.
Try to contract Larry Crispe at Bandimere Speedway. He has been the VP of Opertions there for about 15 plus years. He has helped build tracks all over the world.
Good luck!!!! Keep us posted.
