Here is a link to our new drag strip opening in Onawa Iowa by the Onawa Racing Assn. Inc..
They are having a open house for anyone in the area on October 14, 2017. The track is about 5o miles north of Omaha Nebraska and 30 miles south of Sioux City, Iowa just a few miles off I-29. All paved access to the track for racers. Entrance is just south of Onawa, Iowa off K-45. Onawa is only 1 miles off I-29.
They are still selling shares in the track for $ 1000 a share(they have sold $ 220,000 of shares ) and they got $ 500,000 from the City of Onawa. They have a 25 year lease for the closed airport runway (that was paved in the 1990's).
See this link to the event.

check the other construction pictures/improvements on the web site.
This 3500 ft long 54 ft wide concrete strip (starting at 1/8 mile) opens to a full season in 2018.
The track has been diamond ground for 1/4 mile racing. I found the diamond grinding contractor for the track board members.
The new Asphalt return road and 8 lane staging lanes shown with pictures on the web site was designed by me.
I know Phil -we need a 348/409 event. We will see.
I am running my 62 SS 409 Hardtop on October 14th, down the track
Any other members or interested drag racers in the area stop by and run there cars. Rain date is October 15th.
