My car is in pieces.

Pretty sad my dad sponsors the Friday night fun nights and I haven't got to race one time this year.

The track usually isn't too packed on Friday nights. You could probably get 10-15 runs in depending on how much you wanted to hot lap your car.

They do a descent job of prepping the track. Just depends on how many newbies are out there messing up the track though.

Some nights I've seen them jiggle the battery and sign you off, other nights I've seen them crawl under cars to make sure they have a ds loop. Its really a toss up.

Due to a Race being ran Friday July 21st at the Circle Track - we will not be having a Friday Fun night that evening.

God I wish they would turn this track into a 1/4. Personally I think this is one of the best prepped tracks I have ever been on but I hate the fact that it's a 1/8 track.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I have never raced there but everyone that I know that has always likes the track prep. If that was a quarter mile track it would be packed every weekend. I know that people down south have to drive at least 2 to 2 1/2 hours to get to a 1/4 mile track and would love to see one closer but you know that will never happen. O well nice to dream sometimes.

With the new owners, I'm not too sure. I ran there once this year (first TnT day) and on my street tires I was cutting 2.0's (check sig for mods )

Haven't went during the friday nights yet but the previous owners prepped it great last year and year before.

There was talks about it once long time ago but since a "public" road was put behind it (gets hardly any traffic) it will never be a 1/4 track.
