Who's going?



Saw that GLTDR is hosting a drag racing day July 19 at US 131 Raceway. I'm a "local" and was just curious what the turnout will be... I'll be there - just hope I have my engine in my truck by then!

Vacationland Accessories is sponsoring a diesel drag race July 19th. It is a DHRA division 3 points race, but all are welcome to race with us. See you then.

So who's going to the drags at 131, and does anyone want to meet up and what time, maybe do some tailgating before the race ? For me this is kinda a local event (about 70 miles away) and will be there hoping to see some Cummins truck smoke the rest of the pack

I'll be there, but my truck is still apart. :{



I scouted the campground last weekend, (I'm about 5 miles away), and it's not much in the way of a campground... The grounds are nice, but all the best spots are taken by what appear to be travel trailers that are built in and added on to. Don't get me wrong, it looks like a nice little community/weekend place, but there were only (from what I saw) about 6-8 spots that would be open for trailers. Plenty of tent space but the tent area is a ways from showers and the "lake". It's no wonder the place "fills up fast" since 80-90% of the spots are permanently taken.



Just wanted to give you a heads up. It IS the closest place (about a mile) to the dragway, but not a great place to go camping for the sake of camping... If you are looking for a nice place to camp I would recommend Yankee Springs over near Gun Lake, which is probably 15-20 minutes NE of Martin (where the dragway is).



For those that have never been to the dragway, it is exit 55 off of US 131, and is about a mile south on a side road running along the west side of US 131. If you are coming from the south, you will be able to see it from the expressway before you exit. Hope this helps...

I forgot about Yankee Springs, nice camping area with some good beaches, fishing is not bad either.

I will be at Schnable campgrounds Fri nite and will be heading home sometime Sun. There should be lots of tailgates at the campground Kyle, come on over and visit. Kirk

Schnable sounds like it's just a step above the camping conditions I am used to! Showers!Oo.

I'll be there and my families coming along as well. Can't wait!
