They've been chasing the dragstrip dream in CT since CT Dragway got sold to Consumer Reports... It normally gets squashed because inevitably someone can hear or see it, or the land is more valuable as investment/development. This has led to areas like "BIR" (Bolton International Raceway aka I-384), the Berlin Turnpike (and CT RT 9), the CT RT-6 bypass, and various other street racing areas to pop up.
I liek the fact that this guy is keeping reality in mind. You will never get a 1/4 mile strip in CT - the land's too valuable and too much of a 1/4 mile track is non-income producing. The 1/8th mile is more than perfect, and with strict sound enforcement I think that has a chance. I will remain optimistic on this one - RT32 is a short bike ride from my house - but I think somewhere further East or north and east is more likely.
