has anyone read the retarded amount of classes they are trying to run this is so stupid i wont be there and will be surprised if it is by the end of season all classes heads up..ops , 9inch , radial etc etc and then pro tree heads up classes for 10.0 ..11.00..12.00..13.00..14.00 why not go to twenty to see if the retards can count that high ...since 1960 this was a bracket type race track why because very few can afford heads up drive by skill not by wallet hell even pinks does a handi cap and these new morons want to re-event the wheel ..round works just fine
so if your car run xx.50 thier is no class oh wait ill pay to get beat first round every weekend or i can sandbag and go to a slower class so someone else can get beat every weekend and i proved one thing my brakes work ...not my skill because i get to sleep for a half second and can still make it up on the slower class all this sounds real fun and real boring id rather watch grass grow at least it always moving foward

Hallelujah! on the above post.

I just got off the phone with the rep -- I don't know about advertising there, but about a month before they open I'm advertising the opening in my front store window -- It's very timely with news I got today that my 87 Z28 made the cover of a new 3rd Gen magazine. I need an updated photo shoot, now I know where to go...we're all cleared. The rep's coming by my shop to check out my window ad before I get it up and it's just a matter of spring until we can all be at the track.

most popular? mason capitol and mir are packed every weekend .not that many are tired . i have raced at 75/80 since 86 and helped jimmy and his mustang hold the ops record for almost two seasons so dont tell me about heads up racing i was thier when we all got it started but heads up means $=faster and that cuts about 80% of the local racers out not mention it takes alot more skill to dial you and car in to consitent number than mash the gas and not run out ..hell the most popular race show ever pinks gives guys a handi cap becuse people want to see close races not just who is fastest

i spoke to a couple of the ops guys today and thier happy the track is reoping but the think the rest is dumb and are worried that this complete stupidit will cause it to have an early demise these track cost money to operate and after a month every one will know who is going to win what class and human nature to be bored wll set in and then people will stop coming and the income wont be thier before you run your trap and are selfish think about the big picture we all what to race but want it to last

many people i have talked too are flat out pissed becuse they supported this track thier entrie racing life and are know being indexed out

i think everyone needs to stop bitching about it and see what happens. the track is finnaly opening again. and iam sure if the owners sense a problem looming they will change somthin once the race season starts or next season.
