Gocky Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Anybody else hear about NE dragway closing for good? A guy I was talking to today said he heard Wal Mart bought the property. That would be a real shame if true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted November 22, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted November 22, 2021 I haven’t heard anything but that would seriously suck. It’s probably just for the season I’d think since it’s that time of year. I seen nothing online about it? Maybe @Tommcat would know I thought I read he races there often???

Gocky Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Sorry, trying to upload the info but it will only do a shitty screen shot. Supposedly this offer goes to vote with the shareholders of the track. I really hope this gets shot down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 A chunk of my life and many others where spent there. I was a Friday night track user. I learned alot going there and many of those things i still do today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted November 23, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted November 23, 2021 So it potentially could happen that really blows. Where will us gear heads drag race now? The only other place nearby I know of is in Maine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gocky Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 And the track in Maine is only 1/8 mile. Same with me on time spent there, my dad raced there in the late 80's-mid 90's so alot of my childhood was spent there on the weekends. Now I take my daughter there and she loves it! nothing better than seeing the excitement she gets when we're there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An un named investment group made an offer on the entire property, and the general feeling is that its not to keep a drag strip going. Hopefully the management group turns them down, it would be a real shame to lose another track. Both of our series would have to move, and a ton of racers and shops would take a hard hit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommcat Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Personally, I can easily move to Lebanon Valley, but most of our racers would be hard pressed to do that. Oxford Maine is somewhat an option, but not a good one for us. Edited November 24, 2021 by Tommcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFM Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Voting went: “ 428 yes to keep 78 no 7 abstained.” Okay, doing quick morning read on yellowbullet, i ran into their thread on this, that a stock holder actually responded on. Some good info on this subject plus more. https://www.yellowbullet.com/threads/looks-like-new-england-dragway-is-being-sold.2669221/ Edited December 4, 2021 by CFM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
