It's time to meet the drivers. Face to face. Let us tell you what we have planned.
And you can tell us what you would like to see in the future. We have devised a
way for the racers to express their wants, needs and desires and we would like
you to be part of shaping the future at King of the North Dragway.

North Bay, ON Jan 20 2013 - When Kevin Costner’s character, Ray Kinsella heard a voice saying “If you build it, he will come”, he built a baseball diamond in his Iowa cornfield for ghosts of days gone by. The emotionally gripping story ended with hundreds of headlights heading down the country roads towards his “Field of Dreams”.

Although the premise for this article is quite different, being that there are no ghosts involved and baseball is so unrelated to drag racing; the movie’s title and dramatic ending spark me to “borrow” the famous line with a little modification…. “Build it and they will come”.

Built on acreage mostly surrounded by forest, south-east of North Bay, Ontario, the new King of the North Dragway is surely the “Field of Dreams” for two guys from Bonfield, ON
