The Medicine Hat Drag Racing Association is asking for support from the community as they work to replace its aging concrete racing lanes.
The volunteer-run dragstrip hopes to raise $750,000 to rebuild both lanes of the quarter-mile track, as the racing strips have reached the end of their service life, according to the association.
Vice-President Mike Schaan said the facility is the longest-running National Hot Rod Association track in Alberta, and many memories have been made on the tracks for decades, from jet car exhibitions to junior dragster runs that helped launch racing careers.
Schaan said the new concrete surface would improve safety, competition and the overall experience for racers and fans.
