Default Showtime Drag Strip
Showtime Drag Strip (Sunshine's new name) has it's ground breaking THURSDAY at 10:30 am. I wish the new owners good luck!


After seeing what was done to Sunshine, I refuse to go to and support BMP however.

Here are some photos of the damage recently. The track needed updating, we all know that. But it didn't need to be intentionally demolished so as to make it harder for the new owner to get the track in race ready condition. Larry Dickinson aka "Todd" has some balls, I'll give him that .

That picture with him rolling up the sod was a joke.

Yeah I know, it's just a picture to elaborate on the depth of his leveling of that track.

The grandstands needed updating and concrete barriers are a given in this day and age over guardrails. Not saying the guy wasn't Out of hand!
