Agreed. Hoping to hear the details of the deal and how long the lease/agreement is for. Hopefully its at least 3-5 years. No reason for anyone to upgrade the facility otherwise...That's great, but with the ON & OFF future of the land makes for a difficult time getting any long term commitments from sponsors and show bookings
I got the same thing out of it, Ted, but maybe I'm reading it wrong. The letter says, in regards to the tracks, "these tracks will now be available to Radford students". Ok, but does that mean Radford students ONLY? I don't know, I hope not. The letter did say there was quite a few much-upgraded areas of the tracks including family centers, etc and that sounds like they're planning on events other than students-only.The only thing I got out of that letter is that the Radford Driving School is going to continue using the track for their classes. It doesn't say anything about scheduling any NHRA events.
I understand it as the Redford School have reached an agreement to lease the property from Wild Horse. Now it is up to them if they want to strike a deal with NHRA to let them use the drag strip. I can’t imagine them leasing it and not at least exploring the options of renting it out to NHRA.I got the same thing out of it, Ted, but maybe I'm reading it wrong.

The ‘24 schedule won’t be out until at least Indy, maybe later. Don’t count it out.wonder why the headline isn't 'wild horse pass motorsports park to remain open in collaboration with NHRA'?
it's not on the '24 schedule yet.
The liquid voodoo race team said the boats are for sure coming back this November.I read somewhere that the BOATS will be back this fall for the Finals.
Perhaps the Radford School itself could sponsor the race ???Definitely good news; will NHRA still have an event there next year? Or will some arrangement need to be made with the Redford School, like a sub-lease?
