Default Osceola photo's needed.

Any regulars here have some pictures of the track & pit's.
Haven't been there since '91 & we might make the drive if it's safe & hooks.

Since you've been there, they have the old guard rails from US131. It hooks on Saturdays from what I hear. Its still pretty much some pavement strips in a field though. They are doing renovations from what I hear? I was last there in early August of this year, but am currently down at school.

They are not open on Saturdays.
BUT It hooks good on Sundays.

Track was resurfaced a couple years ago and the pits are very short grass . Ground is fairly smooth and no problems with low cars as long as you park up front.
One half of the pits toward staging lanes is all paved rds the far half is dirt gravel rds.

Sunday is usually 2 time runs brfore eliminations if its busy so you can get at least 3 runs if you count first rd of eliminations. Bu backs are 20$ first rd

I've never personally been there, but a guy I work with is running 9.0's, can't remember his 60'. I also know that he runs there every Sunday and didn't have anything bad to say about it surface wise.

Thanks guys. More worried about the pits & return road. I run my car a little below legal, due to speed.
Don't need another issue like at another track with the potholes & rocks.
We really don't want to work in mud or ruts, where the pro-jacks won't work.

Pit rds are all newer and smooth. Pits are short grass hard pack and no rocks no ruts etc.

Just watch where you park and look at the pit rd height to parking surface height some spots are a couple inches difference but many are perfectly level and even.
