All things Drag Racing.
- Thread starter 500$k5
- Start date
I believe he paid $80k. Not sure what he does for a living. Late 30's, has 3 Razer-R side by sides. A truck I never could afford. Super nice guy.
1320 covered the Wisconson ice racing last year. It was a pretty cool video.
Studded tires or just grit the surface?
Every tire is hand made, they screw hundreds of wood screws into each tire for grip. They show the process in the 1320 video. By the end of the day the grooves at the starting line are so deep people have to line up in a different spot or they'll get high centered on their rear pumpkin.
The guy said 3000 screws per tire
I watched it a while ago, didn't remember the exact number.

They didn't cover that in the video, I was wondering the same thing. It only runs for 4 weeks per year
The start line was very smooth to start the day, I suspect they flood the “trenches” with water, to freeze for the following weeks race.
All they would have to do it drill some holes and the trenches would be in autofill mode.
I don't think so.
The holes will plug up before the trenches are full.
Plus I am sure the surface of the ice is higher than the liquid water level. But in theory it's a nice idea
I see you've never drilled a hole in the ice.
A large portion of those guys at that ice race probably have one of these in the back of their trucks...takes seconds...
Oh I have.
My point still stands, the water will not reach the level desired because it's an enclosed lake an the liquid water level can't reach that high
Atlanta Dragway received approval from the county to reopen. I watched the meeting live. Was a standing room only crowd. Only limit established is, no runs until after 12pm on Sundays.
You're telling me you have while at the same time telling me you haven't, in theory it's a nice idea.
No that's what she said jokes, wrong thread....
Last night in Hudson, CO wasn’t just another town hearing — it was a moment racers will remember for years to come. When John Bandimere Jr., longtime owner and steward of Bandimere Speedway, took the floor, it carried the weight of history, legacy, and unfinished business.
That legacy dates back to 1958, when John Bandimere Sr. purchased land on the west side of Denver, nestled against the Hogback at the base of the Rocky Mountains. He and his family began building a small but efficient drag strip to complement their auto parts business — but it was more than business. It was the fulfillment of John Sr.’s dream to create a safe place for young people to learn about cars and race them off the streets.
Racers showed up strong for the public hearing regarding the annexation and zoning proposal tied to what’s planned to become Hudson Motorsports, the proposed new home of Bandimere Speedway.
