Arkansas' Home for Drag Racing
Fun!
General
Information
For years,
Daniel and
Rebecca Yoder
have been deeply
concerned about
the youth in
Arkansas. There
simply isn’t
anything much
for them to do,
and the death
toll of young
people killed on
our roads from
speeding and
illegal drag
racing is
extremely high.
Their desire was
to provide
something fun
and safe for the
youth to do.
Finally, Daniel
started reading
about the
“Flashlight
Drags” that have
been springing
up across the
country in
different spots.
Out of this, his
dream was born
of building a
drag strip for
the youth.
Obviously the
youth cannot
compete against
$100,000
professional
race cars, so
Daniel decided
to build a track
for street legal
vehicles only.
This way, anyone
can race any
type of vehicle
as long as it is
licensed and
insured to drive
on the Arkansas
highways.
Finding enough
level land up in
the Ozarks was
not an easy
task. Daniel
finally found 66
perfect acres
just outside of
Bee Branch, AR.
Construction
started in the
spring of 2006.
But, the
neighbors rose
up against the
project in what
ended up being a
year long legal
fight. The
Yoders found out
there was an
obscure law
passed in the
1990s stating
that “No racing
facilities can
be built in the
state of
Arkansas for any
cars or trucks
modified for
racing.” This
law is
administered by
the A.D.E.Q.
(Arkansas
Division of
Environmental
Quality).
Construction
came to a
screeching halt
while the Yoders
sought legal
council and
researched the
law.
Fortunately,
Daniel’s
original dream
had been to race
street legal
vehicles only!
Street legal
vehicles are NOT
modified for
racing, and thus
the Yoder’s drag
strip does not
fall under this
law. After 6
weeks of delay,
construction was
re-started and
the track was
completed.
Two-Lane
Blacktop Drag
Strip, a 1/8
mile track,
officially
opened on
September 1,
2006. It is a
safe place for
the youth and
anyone else to
race and have
fun. It is a
family park, no
alcohol or drugs
are permitted on
the grounds. So
many people are
at last
fulfilling their
dream of drag
racing without
having to have a
special
expensive
vehicle to race.
One of the big
differences
between Two-Lane
and the other
professional
drag strips is
that you can
come and race as
many times as
you want. No
waiting. It is
all heads-up
racing. Run down
the track until
the rubber falls
off your tires.
Have fun, and an
opportunity to
win one of the
many cash
prizes.
