Yes, Sunday racing at Hub City is an interesting experience, to say the least. When I was there Dec 9, they sprayed both lanes all the way down the 1/4 mi twice. My car never even attempted to spin in 7 passes throughout ~7 hours. I was very impressed with the track surface.
Hope to see some of you guys there <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Joe, I might be up for the trip. How long of a drive from BR? How strict are they on roll-bars? I traded for this motor so I wouldn't have to put a cage in. LOL

Looks like they are an IHRA track (11.49 or faster needs a cage), so I should be OK. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Every time I have been there the track has been great. It's about a 2 hr. drive for me, but its worth it. Much better than Gulfport, MS. IMO

Wish I could be there.

It took us 2 1/2 hrs to get from BR to Hattiesburg, running 75 mph and stopping once for gas.
Here is an e-mail I got from Todd Nace, the track manager, after asking about track prep (which was EXCELLENT last time) and whether or not slicks could run on the 1/4 mi:

KRISTI YOU CAN RUN ANY TIRE 1/4 MILE. WE WILL NOT HAVE A TIRE SHOOTOUT THIS SUNDAY. IT WILL BE STRAIGHT TEST AND TUNE . IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL ME ON MY CELL TO MAKE SURE WEATHER IS OK. OH WE PREP THE TRACK THE SAME WAY EVERY WEEKEND AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. BE SURE AND COME BY THE TOWER AND SAY HI.
TODD NACE

hub city is basically my "home" track. i am in jackson, ms. (about an hour) the prep is always good and you will have no problem with cage rules etc. I just got this car together so I may try to get down there this weekend.

email me if you have a group going...i will try to get some more guys to come from here.

Click for Hattiesburg weather forecast

Hey, it pays to do your schmoozing <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

We have about 5 or 6 people from Birmingham and the Tuscaloosa, AL are coming and then Joe and whoever comes from Baton Rouge. Ought to be a decent f-body crowd.

I was there Dec 9, on a 10.5" tire shootout day and all I can say is... um... WOW <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

Weather is looking good! I know we will have some people from BR going. Tim H (95 Formula) and I are going for sure. I talked to Justin (Jsears8) today and he is planning on going if he can get out of work. Should be a nice trip up there. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Is the track normally pretty crowded? How many runs do you typically get on a Sunday?



All times are GMT -5. The time now is 02:25 PM.
