THE POPULARITY of events like the Riverboat Days drag races has spurned the
Terrace Drag Racing Club to aquire some land for a racing strip.

Dragsters design strip

BUILD IT and they will come.

That's the hope of the Terrace Drag
Racing Association. The group is looking
to get tenure on some crown land near
Onion Lake to build a diagstrip.

“It would be for everybody,’’ says
Fudgie Danshaw from the club.

Danshaw says that drag racing clubs from
Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert would

a bit of a shot in the dark.”’

Sull, Danshaw is optimistic, saying that
he will work hard to push his project
through.

“We're going to carry this through to the
end,’’ he says. “I got hooked on drag
racing four years ago and I’m not going to
drop the ball on this one,’*
