Also the "stay in the right lane unless passing" rule was constantly violated. Fun to watch from a distance but not so much when you get boxed in for an extended period of time and there is no escape! Fucking Costco!! Those Qtips think they can do what ever they want. Last time I was there, I was ready to start breaking hips. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a former drag racer from the 60s. He also had a speed shop in NY before he and his wife moved to NH and started the greenhouse business. Anyway we went to the NHRA, race in St Pea, Quebec (I think that was the name of the town). It was right after Eddy Hill broke the 300mph mark. I think that they were still running the full 1320 back then. Isn't it 1000 feet now? When I lived in wy my buddies and I would make the 9 hr ride to Denver for the mile high nationals at bandimere speed way. ‘94-95-96-97 Saw the first 300 mph pass and it was John force in a funny car!! Friday night qualifying was the best. Fire!! They just held the final race there. The owners only owned a small parcel that the track and pits etc sat on. They leased the parking areas and the lot owners are developing the land so no parking, no race track. The track owners have said they are planning to build a new facility out near the airport but it’s years out. It was a cool place to watch drags.
