I work out there on the EMS staff. Pretty cool establishment, but since they just opened up they're still getting all the bugs worked out...as previously mentioned, higher HP cars don't seem to hook much at all either. Don't forget they also have an autocross track, drifting course (although I think they're about the nix that), and a go kart track. I haven't done it yet but the go karts seem like a lot of fun, they're similar to the shifter karts that go in excess of 60mph. Not sure what mph the karts are governed to out there though.
Anyway here's their website if anybody wants more info......

I went out there last Sat night and my car hooked good,probably a 1.48- 1.50 sixty foot. The first 2 weeks it was open i ran my silver car there and the traction was terrible. This Sat the track was prepped good with VHT or VP and there was some fast cars out there. John T. with his big tire Nova was on the wheelie bar for 100' and Iraqi Rob had his sbc RX7 almost on the bumper on some runs.
