Every 1st Saturday of the month there is a "show and shine" carshow at The Church of the open door in Bellmead, TX. I should have my SS tunned by then and finally make it out to the "show and shine". Then after that most people go out to PH drag strip and race.

Prairie Hill, it's more of a outlaw style track. It hooks decent but the shut down area is a little rough. No cage, no helmet, no problem.

Then you won't like PH. You might try Little River Dragway instead.

Poor track prep and 1/4 mile times work 75 percent of the time. Of course, it's an outlaw track, so anything does go.

Here is what the track look like..

BigPapa. Yeah I know man. Thats the 1st track I ever ran. I know it well. The only diff between PH and Ennis track prep is I EXPECT PH to be shitty. Ennis is just shitty for no good reason. I could literally hook better(waaaaay better) on I45 when I left than that icerink.

Yup. Sadly, they can be compared. Like I said. I EXPECT PH to be low on traction. NOT Ennis. Out of the past 5 or 6 times Ive been there in the past 2 yrs its been a 50/50 on track condition. And that is when you can get a run in past the 200 crotchrockets that get in front of everyone constantly. Ennis wasnt like that 5yrs ago. Idk what yall did/didnt do, but it is not the same on Fast Fridays. And, yes, Street tires, now. With only 12 sec cars, hooking in THIRD should not be an issue.

Well I just took over Jan. of this year. The track should be hooking a little better. I wasn't out here a lot last year. However come out this friday and you will see the difference. This track has been a constant fight but now I think we have things sorted out. My name is Eric McClelland, Im over the competition. Street tires are very hard to get down any track, No matter where you go. I have worked at a couple tracks all across the nation, and they have the same issues with street tires. But, Like I said, come this friday and I will personally watch the runs and get you down the track.
