I wouldn't mind to setup some grass drags out here in manitoba. What are the major differences than a ice drag or sno drag track other than the snow and ice and winter, lol. 660' is the usual for snow and ice around here, what should grass be? should I been on a certain type of soil or land? does the track need to be moved over a lot of the times because of grass being ripped up? I would also try to have a mud bog pit for trucks and quads or would that be to much for a day, or put it all on the weekend?

Thanks for your input guys

I haven't had that much experience with grass drags but I will share with you what I know and have observed.
Track should be 500' long. The starting line is usually hard packed clay for about the first 50 or 60'. The rest needs to be nice and flat and smooth and usually the grass is freshly cut to what would be a normal length for your lawn. Having the track moistened is a bonus to keep the dust down for sure but not too wet as it creates a real mess on the sleds and makes the dirt stick more to sliders et.
I have run a few tracks but having a 400 timing tree is a definite must have. For sure have RT end ET. If you can have one with 60' time and top speed, that is a bonus but I have run tracks without.
I have run tracks with two lanes and 4 lanes. The 4 lane tracks are better for big crowds but the two lane tracks are good for grudge match kind of racing. Something about one against one rather than one against three.
A good announcer is an asset for sure. People not only want to know who won but how fast, some good comments about the sleds and drivers and so on. It really adds to the experience. I have been to some where the announcer just calls out the basics and it doesn't really add much. It would be kinda like Hockey Night in Canada without Don Cherry. We love him and hate him but he sure adds some excitement to the commentary.
Are you planning on running vintage classes as well? There is alot of interets in them in Ontario and several US states.

Anyway, just some of my thoughts.

thanks for the reply vintage elan guy( I can ryhme good). I wouldn't care about times, just who ever got pass the finish line first advances. is the track hard to make?

thanks

I guess hard to make is a relative term. If you have all the equipment and the knwoledge to use it then it shouldn't be hard to make. Any local company that does excavations should be able to help you I should think.

I have 4 tractors, 1 with a bucket and 1 with a blade. anything else I should need in that category? got land

A source of clay and a god heavy roller to flatten the starting line down and to roll the rest of the track flat.

do you thinkg a field packer would be good enough? I could probably get clay pretty easy

I am sure it would. Can't hurt to give it a try anyway..

sweet, thanks a bunch
