I agree with the fact that people blame the track on why they can't hook but IMO the biggest problem is the staff and the lack of inspection and how long it takes them to clean up when something does go wrong. They will let people run with fluids leaking from there car and bald tires hell I watched a kid leave the line one night and left sand all over the track and they said nothing to him so when he ran the second time he did it again and still they didn't say anything to him even though he cost so much time from clean up. I love the track and going to it as often as I can but if it does close down it won't really surprise me because they don't seem like they care about the people patronizing there establishment.
As for the guy who compared cfrc closing and Osw possible closing that's not even close to the same reason cfrc had no choice they where forced out for a few reasons as where Osw would close on there own terms not the countys.

People that say they can't hook there just need to tune for it. On TNT nights with NO prep I can do 1.60 60 foots in my street car on radials. We are talking leaf springs and slapper bars. ![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)
The Throwdown in O-town was a success and Shelby will be doing another one in October. Hopefully, she will take over for Carl since he wants to spend time at his Oregon home.

It's a 555 with twin 91's, the car just weighs 4200lbs
Its been 8.03 with the old 461 and twin 75's. Slowly getting the new combo dialed in.
He'll be driving the car on drag week for the 3rd year starting next week.

You know as well as I do, the track isn't the BEST out there, but its ours. It also takes the blame for alot of peoples cars short comings.
It'll be just like CFRC, people will bitch and moan when it closes, but I didn't see anyone downtown at the city council meeting to help fight for it. They were to busy complaining about it on the internet.

Rick has been out to the NMCA opening race the last few years but hasn't had any luck to get the win. Car ran a trio of 8-second back-to-back-to-back passes this year but was DQ'd due to a hood issue that required him removing it. He still ran the car for the crowd which I thought was a selfless decision! Glad to see he invaded the 7s on drag week!

No, they can't close OSW! It's bad enough missing wed night test n tune. If they take it all away, what am I supposed to do? 11 second runs on 419? We need this place to get it out of our system because the vast majority aren't going to drive two hours for it.

I've heard if someone wants to pick up the lease and Carl likes them, it will stay open. No word as of yet on staying open past December though...
