After Sitting Closed for Over Two Years, Wayne County Dragstrip (a.k.a. Nahunta Dragway) Will Re-Open, as Drag Racer and Vlogger John Doc Acquires the North Carolina Track! — Sick The Magazine
Although a few drag race tracks did close in 2025, a few new ones are under construction, or have been reported as coming back to life. The IHRA (International Hot Rod Association) made headlines in late December 2025 by announcing a pair of tracks, Memphis International Raceway and Heartland Motors

I agree, but 1/8 mile track is better than a 0 mile track.

IHRA donated $10,000,000 to St Jude Children's Hospital today.
I donate to st. judes too! Not quite that much though.
They have a location ten minutes from me in Boulder City.

We give to St. Jude and Gary Sinise foundation regularly and a few others not so regular.
Ive been by the one in Memphis…cant help but think about all the kids in there struggling to just have a childhood.
Looks like this was filmed in October last year, but GM just released it today…
Imagine if they could get that 60’ down to 1.20-1.30 range!
Edit….I guess they did w 1.37 60’.

I watched that yesterday too, amazing for a production car on pump gas.
Though I would still rather have the ZR1, I don't want to deal with the batteries and weight in the X.
Not like it matters, I won't buy either, maybe in 15 years I can nab a used one. Or just buy a Z06 then and put turbos on it.
It's weird because he said 1.67, maybe he misspoke
1.67 was the zero to 60 MPH, 1.37 is the time to a 60 ft distance. They can easily be mixed up.
Ok I mistook one 60 for another.
And you can forgive my ignorant mistake since the slip only mentioned the 60 foot number and the interview only mentioned the 0 to 60 number, easy mistake
Its easy to do, most drag racers use the 60 ft, and most car guys that aren't drag racers use the 0 - 60.
The drag strip does not give you the zero - 60 time, because the distance varies depending on acceleration. So you get the 60 ft and 330 ft times but not the 60 mph time.
I had to measure that in my data logger, which is exactly what Chevy did in the end of that video.

The guy I picked up the Demon from sold it to make room for his ZR1X.
By the time you get the allocation from GM and pay them a premium to actually build it... doesn't seem it's worth the trouble.
On the plus side, this guy will race it and will most likely sell it once he's bored of it or something faster is offered.
