Letter to the Editor: What the dragway means to me

What the dragway means to me

I was going to write my own words to express what the dragstrip means to this community, local businesses, revenue for the City and an outlet that allows wholesome family entertainment. While we all have our opinions and able to share them openly, I’ve decided to let the good folks of the community speak for themselves, in their own words about what they have to say about Green Cove Dragway. These are all quotes from the Dragway’s Facebook page:

We have been going about the past two years and they are very family oriented even my grandchildren love to go you could never meet nicer people and communities! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Love it been there a few times now but we make sure to go either Fri or Sat. It’s a Family outing. lol

We came to watch my brother race here and had a great time. The grounds are clean, ladies’ facilities are clean and wheelchair accessible. No drug or alcohol around. There was a food truck there. We paid extra to park in the pit area and it was worth it. I would put this at the top of the list for a family outing. Well done Green Cove Springs. I stand and applaud you.

Great atmosphere and place. The event was fun and tons of cars came out. The crew was amazing. The food was great. Definitely gonna’ be coming back.

What a great venue and well run track! It’s been years since I've been to a race somewhere but, I will certainly be back!

Only there a handful of times. Best atmosphere, quick to send people down the track. This isn't your typical track where you pay your $25, spend hours upon hours in the pit lanes and run only once or twice most of the day! No this place just keeps going and going very very fun. Amazing staff, amazing people. They're really doing something for the car community in the Green cove area.

Tonight was my son's birthday and his first time racing and he had a great time. Everyone was patient and willing to help him. He has the bug- we will definitely be back. :-)

Great local people! Close by! Plus! It’s FUN and actually LEGAL!!!

I am very pleased with the entire operation at Green Cove Drag Strip! Always have a great time with T and T. What a great addition to Clay County.

Great place to race and have fun nice kept up track and really nice people who run Green Cove Dragway. I’ve been to a lot of tracks this track ranks up there with the best of them

Had an amazing time last night... Really out did it for the kids thanks for the invite. Thank you mom Kimberly Frost Houston for taking us out to the first of many monster mash bashes a New yet great and successful way of bringing families together...

So, the City of Green Cove Springs has provided a wonderful place for generations of families to come and enjoy. Seeing old friends and making new ones…

I would dare to say there are times at 4 a.m. I wake up to the sound of a train going by and when I lived on Black Creek, well, some pretty loud boats came roaring by at all hours.

I believe there is enough going on in this world for us to be concerned about – having a safe environment for people to enjoy and have fun certainly should not be one of them.
