Default CT dragway

Even if you dont live near Connecticut help us out by signing this petition to allow the reopening of this classic dragstrip. It only takes a minute....just think what it would be like to have the closest dragstrip be 2 hours away. Thanks! http://www.petitiononline.com/JayHass/petition.html

I already signed this. Good progression though, it was in the 400s just a day or two ago. :)

When I signed, I was in the low 200's...it's closing in on 900 now. It'll be nice if it goes through. I wonder if they'll use whats there, or start fresh?
