Finally, the time has come when cars can come out of the garage after a long, long winter slumber and take their first pass down the drag strip!!!

May 4th, we are opening to the public as a Test & Tune Day. It's as much for you the racer as it is for us at the track. We're excited to play with our new timing equipment and to see the racers on the new starting line. A bonus this year to the tower staff is that they can finally see the whole way down to the shut down area and return road.

Let's give a great big shout out to everyone who has helped over the last couple of months to make this race season something special!!! Thanks!!

We ask that everyone understands that this little track went through some major, major changes since Nov. While we tried to complete everything before we opened, we decided that racers want to race and so please understand there are still on-going projects.

There will be plenty of parking this year at the track since several acres of trees have been cleared. Please note that we are trying to keep much of the parking area grass, but the grass might not have grown in yet, plan accordingly if this is a wet week.

Also, Our Official On-line Quarter Aces Drag-o-Way Souvenir Shop is open and ready for business. Support the track by sporting some Quarter Aces Gear to the next race!!!! Check it out at www.cafepress.com/quarteraces

Here she is, a beautiful picture of the new starting line, in the center the newly installed eye for the timing system and a clear view to the end of the track.

The next picture is from the new balcony on the timing tower. Now the staff has a clear view of the entire track. The area by the shut down has been cleared and the hill was knocked down 10 feet. It is now a level area for parking.

If you have any questions please contact us at info@quarteraces.com

Hope to see you soon!!!!!

- Quarter Aces Drag-o-Way Staff

60'

2007-12-30T12:02:00.001-08:00

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.

Clearing the Pit Area

2007-12-02T06:36:00.000-08:00

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!!!!
