The French Drag Racers need your HELP !
Hello guys,
It is becoming increasingly difficult to organize drag races in France. In 2014 we will no longer have access to the numerous airfields we have been using for years and through which drag racing has thrived in France. The only solution to prevent drag racing from disappearing entirely in France is to build our first bone fide permanent drag strip.
The site has been identified, the former airfield of Clastres in the region of Picardie, located in northeastern France, which will be attractive to racers from North and Eastern Europe. A short two-hour drive from Paris, the track would be within easy reach by specialized and mainstream media all located in France’s capital, an important factor for the success of the track and the sport of drag racing in France.
Financing has been secured to a certain level and will be supplied by the local communities with further financial aid being seeked from the region national and international sources. To show the authorities and the financiers that there genuinely is strong interest for this permanent drag strip project, we have created a petition to actually quantify this support.
It is therefore ESSENTIAL we gather the most signatures possible.
We are therefore seeking support from drag racing fans worldwide to reach our goal of finally having our very first own permanent strip, which we hope will open the door to more being built throughout the country. France is currently the only European country, other than Switzerland, not to own a genuine drag strip!
