Tue, 2010-04-13 13:00
The $300,000 worth of upgrades to the dragstrip at Maple Grove Raceway should be completed within a week and be ready in plenty of time for May 1, the first scheduled day of racing for the 2010 season.
Concrete was poured earlier this week for the extended concrete launch pad that will stretch an additional 300 feet for a total length of 820 feet.
The asphalt beyond the new pad was milled by 2 inches and a new paving mix that will run to 250 feet beyond the finish line will be installed.
