Down Track # 2

This is taken from the spectator side of the track again showing you the pit area that is being opened up.

60'

The old concrete from 60' on back is being torn out and is being made ready for new concrete. The Starting line will be moved back 30'. The track will also be widened an additional 5 feet on each side to make it 50' across. Concrete barriers will be set up in this area. The plan is to add 100' of concrete down the track over the next several seasons until the entire track is new concrete.

A big Thank You to the volunteers that have been coming out and Helping out, we couldn't do this without you.

Down Track 12-29-07

As you can see the Down track pits have been cleaned out. You can see Ed's old shack and how much more space is being opened up for pit space.

Clearing the Pit Area

This past week work began on clearing the pit area to make more parking and easier parking. Anyone that has visited the drag strip, formerly South Mountain Dragway, knows the pit area by the shut down curve was covered with random trees that made parking trailers nearly impossible. Here are some pictures to show the progress.

This first picture is taken from the top of the curve in the shut down area. By removing a lot of the trees we are able to offer a better parking lot and better visibility of the track for visitors and racers in the pit area.


The second picture is showing a different view of the same area pf the pits. On the right of the picture you can see the old ticket booth at the back entrance. Several trees have been cleared out of the area behind the ticket booth. A few trees will be left for shade at different locations, but over all a larger parking area has been created.



The third picture is taken from the tower overlooking the starting line. The guard rails are being removed and new barriers are being installed to provide safety for visitors and racers.

Our goal at Quarter Aces Drag-o-Way is to offer an improved track with family appeal. We want to keep the vintage aspects of the small town track along with adding new features that both new comers and old timers will appreciate.

The 2008 race season will be exciting, big news is on the horizon, check back often to see what's happening!!!!

Moving Ground!!!

Yesterday we started excavating to improve the layout of the track, parking, return roads and more. These changes will make Quarter Aces Drag-o-Way a better place to enjoy quality drag racing.

We will keep you updated with other new developments as time goes on, all in preparation of making the 2008 race season something special!!!!
