Default Re: Minnesota Dragways Memorabilia

Warbonnet roadrace track here in Okla is now a moble home development. The race surface is the main street there. I think the owner defaulted on it and it was sold and developed. Sure was a shame as it was a fun place except for the last turn onto the front straight. It would make you pucker.

Hallett is out in the country and just a few years ago they finally did pave the road to it. The owner (Toly Artunoff)is a very rich Tulsan (at times) that his daddy developed the downhole oil well pump (Retta pump)and holds the patent on it. I don't see it being sold off and developed. But you never know. I know one thing it is one of the most fun and safe roadrace tracks that I have raced on.

Now I hear that Tulsa's Dragstrip is doing a major rebuild (ala TWS) and will have a Oval and a roadrace track incorporated into it. It may be safe from residental development, since it is out in the country next to a rock quary.

Perhaps Rob should plan on having the SCR8 at Tulsa as it seems that it never rains here much anymore. We sure have a huge building to house the car show in.
