Quarter Miler Racing, Inc.

Quarter Miler Racing Inc. was incorporated in June 1959 under the laws of the State of North Dakota with its principal offices in Carrington.

The purposes of the organization was to establish and unify racing enthusiasts in the state and to enter into National Racing competition, bringing races and racing cars into the area; to stress safety in driving and car construction, and to publicize the sport in the true light, showing the real picture of fellowship, craftsmanship, and ingenuity that can and does exist with racing everywhere.

Property was acquired north of Barlow along High way 281 where a track was set up and the Depot from Barlow was moved to the location to provide facilities necessary for the operations of the races.  Races were held for approximately ten years when it closed for lack of interest.
