First off I heard yesterday that there's a possibility that a new 1/4 mile dragstrip will be built an hour north of Tampa.
Second thing I heard was that Tulsa will join the NHRA schedule in 2023.
Again these are rumors, but I hope both come to fruition.
That would put it about halfway between Tampa and Gainesville. Somewhere around Ocala or just south of there?First off I heard yesterday that there's a possibility that a new 1/4 mile dragstrip will be built an hour north of Tampa.
An NHRA supertrack in proximity of the museum, would be cool.. I would name it "Garlits International Dragway Park"First off I heard yesterday that there's a possibility that a new 1/4 mile dragstrip will be built an hour north of Tampa.

I personally like the Tulsa track the owners and spectators are fantastic and the owners will do what ever it takes to make their track a national event quality track.If Tulsa joins the circuit, maybe the race will be for the fuel cars only. The pits don't appear to be big enough for the fuel cars, plus PS, PSM and the Sportsman classes.
Hopefully, the race will be with the fuel cars and Pro Mod.
I've been going to the Tulsa track since National Challenge '72, first as a spectator, then as a crew member on a Top Dragster and a NFC. The track's racing surface is great.I personally like the Tulsa track the owners and spectators are fantastic and the owners will do what ever it takes to make their track a national event quality track.

Not the same Track This is a new track at Lead Foot City https://leadfootcity.com/I remember reading in one of Don Gartlis books that there was a track in Brooksville back in the 50's that he went to. It caught my interest as that is where my brother spends his winters.

Absolutely. I like this track a lot but he's right the staging lanes and pits can not hold an NHRA national event with all classes.I personally like the Tulsa track the owners and spectators are fantastic and the owners will do what ever it takes to make their track a national event quality track.

Brookville is not an hour north of Tampa.
I live in the area, and it's a short drive either up 75 a few exits or you can take the Sun coast Parkway and be there within 15 minutes.
