Toying with the idea of making a drag strip

texasviking

My boss' brother-in-law just built a sanctioned kart track here in Texas.. I'll see if he has any insight to licensing/costs/etc.

First thing I would do is find a suitable piece of land: 3/4 mile long X 300-500 yds..

Then ask the city if there are any noise violation constraints.

Also, check with insurance on liability for facility as well as for the employees you'd hire...

Thanks, but yeah the peice of land would be the big thing. I would want it out by itself. See we dont have a 1/4 mile track around. We have 2 1/8 mile tracks but they kind of keep the imports out of there. I'm close friends with the commisioners son. His dad always messes with me about me car and claiming I must be alittle street racer. But me and him talked and he explained we have a big street racing problem in the area. I think he said something like last month over 20 people were killed and caused over $100,000 in damages, cars hitting gaurd rails, light poles knocking out some power lines, and one car went through a store front. I joked talking about how i wished i had a track, while i really have always wanted to build one. But he told me he could get the city to donate a large part of the money. But then if I that happens it would have to be opened to the public and i would have to hire people to run it vs it being privite.

But really it has just been something I have always wanted. I would nit even care if I had to go old school arm drops in the beginning
