Jacksonville street racers will have new option with groundbreaking of Callahan drag strip

Owner David Hicken finally broke ground Tuesday on the new eighth-mile Hicken Power Dragstrip -- the area’s first drag strip since 2017. The aim is to be open for racing by May at the latest, Hicken said during Tuesday’s groundbreaking ceremony. Hicken previously told News4JAX that he hopes the new drag strip can serve as a safer, legal alternative for area street racers.
