"All cars will be required to be registered and insured"....... Seems like odd requirements for a race track.

You missed the name of the track, it's called, "Street Legal Dragway."
This is a good thing and I stated this here before, if drag racing is going to survive here in California it'll be done by the grassroots level. Word is there's another 330' track being proposed and supported by the City of Carson; near where the Goodyear Blimp lives.
With regards the WDRA, best keep an eye on them because their expanding weekly as smaller tracks across the US are signing up to be part of their sactioning body. My understanding is that management was part of IHRA and many of these tracks were IHRA tracks.

You can require insurance til the cows come home but good luck forcing an insurance company to pay out on a damage claim from a racing accident.

I watched it every day live on YouTube. Tom Bailey won his 6th Hot Rod Drag Week, on his 10th anniversary of win number 1.
Drag week requires it's contestants to drive on public roads and highways to get from track to track..... But non of those tracks require ANY of those cars to be licensed or insured once on the property.
I stand to my original comment. requiring cars to be licensed and insured to run on a race track seems weird to me. That's all....
Either way, it doesn't matter.... I'll never run a car at that track so it makes no difference to me.
Hell, you can mandate all race cars at that track to pass an emissions test, too.... I don't care. lolol.

That would be awesome! Instead of just an autocross track (like they had at car craft) it would be cool to included a launch pad with short drag strip.

Really, a 330ft (1/16th mile) drag strip that's just silly. Hell, I remember when AA/FC did long smokey burnouts
to 660ft (1/2 track). But then again I remember when there was a 1/4 mile drag strip around every corner out
here on the coast. But I get it, keep the dumbass kid's off the street's.
AA/FC "Brand X" with Cecil Lankford in the seat
AA/FC Mr. Pat Minick filling the night sky, with Akron fallout.
AA/FC Why, why not. Not sure who is in the seat. Barbara giving Austin directions.

Well you know what Bob's profile say's. "From an island between Englishtown, NJ and Maple Grove, PA"What's stopping you, the fence or creek?
The only island I could find (see below) is in Harrisburg, PA. 3 mile island and we know what happened
there March 28, 1979. I wonder if Bob glow's in the dark?

Ahh…. But if you see, it says “Island”…..
As in the certain name of a certain strip of asphalt that Big Daddy ran 200 mph and also broke his back on the thing at the end of that particular track. And no, I don’t have any railroad track at the end of my driveway….

Yup, I ran all of them plus the ones in Connecticut. Now we have a temporary 1/8 track for the third year in a row on a runway- Race Track Not Street.com
Well, maybe Bob has a great idea here. Driveway Drags. Yeah, hafta have a long driveway w/ room to stop and a penalty for hitting the mail box. Mufflers so the neighbors don't get too ticked off. Maybe invite the neighbors over for Lunch & a Brew. Little side betting and.......

I was kicking around the idea of 1/8 scale nitro powered r/c drags but would have to hold up the action every time my neighbor needed to use the driveway
(easement from the 1800’s…) sort of like the road closure at the top end of Maple Grove when the nats are running…
