August 12 - Silverdome parking lot grudge racing

[FlyLike]

I bought flight to Detroit to come see this:

 

[RBOD]

Fuck. Yes.

 

[afolk83]

That's awesome. Sounds like a riot. Hope they knock some of the weeds down and sweep up a nice lane.

 

[svtserpent]

That would be a great place/location for a full time track!

 

[twotwoturbo]

ah ya

 

[4Gas$]

Wow, does that ever sound great!
Someone please post more details
when they become available.

(And what a sweet 55' Chevy.)

It's going to be a riot to watch...
Nothing is going to hook on that ratty old asphalt
Great idea times 10,000 on putting a real dragway there

 

[dline]

Think they are laying down a new surface for this

 

[2fastforU92]

Im pumped for this!!

 

[99TransAmWs6]

keep us posted on the sign up info!

 

[mustangmike6996]

Its supposed to be a one time deal... I hope it brings in enough money to make it a more frequent thing

 

[91trunk]

I hope it goes well, but this is all I vision

I see it going once, then a bunch of people racing on M59, doing donuts on widetrack and other sweet places in Pontiac.
Automatic weapons fired in parking lot of Silverdome and a handful of people getting killed for air jordans or something.
Otherwise it sound like a cool idea, but I see if getting way out of control.

In the oakland press it said they are not doing any repaving but they are bringing in some track people to pick, clean and prep the area.

According to the promoter, racing will take place on existing asphalt, but will remove existing vegetation. Hahahaha

I literally work across the street from the Silverdome. This should be interesting starting around 3...

90 mph??

Plenty of stock cars trapping close to 100 these days.

It's likely just 1/8 mile. That parking lot isn't big enough for full 1/4 plus shutdown.

No, I meant 1/8 mile trap speeds.
