Stop in for a cup of coffee

I went out to our local drag strip this weekend hoping to catch the owner onsite and not rely on urban myth for the scoop. Our track is in Minnesota so needless to say it is as ridiculous as California on most anything social. I found the owner who is a great guy and he explained they were still dead in the water with no happy ending in sight. He was bummed, as are all of us who like to go fast and not turn left.
Which strip is that?? I know BIR is a bit different being its a NHRA sanctioned track so they have to abide by NHRA policys.
