Duchesne, Utah

[Vdubman]

I just read an article and watched a video of a groundbreaking ceremony by the Apex Racing Foundation for a new quarter mile dragstrip in Duchesne, Utah. That’s a bit east of Salt Lake City. High elevation, almost 6,000 ft.

I’m not finding a ton of information about it though, does anyone know if this thing is looking to be big enough to try for a national?

Do you think Nitro teams even really want to try and run at that altitude anymore?

The reason it a 1/4 Mile is because it's gonna take that long to get to 250MPH

It’s about two hours east of SLC, and almost as far from Provo. Tthere is about zero infrastructure in Duchesne - nearest lodging is an hour east in Vernal - Vernal is small without a lot of lodging itself. This seems like a strange location for a track - not even sure where they’ll get “local” racers from.
