The Birth of Flying H Drag Strip

In May of this year, construction began on the Flying H Drag Strip, breaking ground on what promises to be an extraordinary racing facility. The visionary behind this project is Scott Higgs, who purchased the property with a clear mission in mind – to create a first-class dragstrip that would captivate racers and fans alike. The ambitious timeline set by Higgs and his dedicated team aimed to have the track completed and ready for action by October. Their hard work and commitment to excellence have paid off, as Flying H Drag Strip is now gearing up for its inaugural racing season in 2024.

A Partnership with NHRA

Excitement is building as NHRA officials recently announced that Flying H Drag Strip will be part of the prestigious NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series national event schedule in 2024.

Farewell to Heartland Motorsports Park
