I thought they were going to run 1/4 mile on Tony nights was it cause the track wasn't prepped

They said they were having water drainage issues. It was draining out onto the track. So we ran 1/8 mile.

You would figure after almost 11 years of being open and racing they would have enough common sense to dig a trench down the side of the track to allow the water to drain away from the track instead of being soaked into the track and seeping back up after weight and heat is being put on it

Alot of people have to know they track has not been ran on in over 6 months and will take a while for it to come around but ya'll keep going and laying rubber down for me in the future

Before long the track should be called "Slap a wall raceway"

Not the green staff but the owners and managers are to blame but people that run down it until it gets better need to be safe period! It will get better i agree but this problem will not go away until they do some sort of drainage work to allow the water to run off the track. You will see when we get some spring time rain and it holds the track up for a week or two the problem will be back again and you can bet you will be running 1/8 mile when it happens.

Not trying to break their legs before they get running but it's time for the owners to stop looking the other way when this issue comes up because it would be bad to have another fatality on their hands.

Yep I agree Twin City drag was the same way I've seen cars run down the track and water mist fly up behind them

The track was green friday nite and yes there was the age old problem of water weaping at the 1/8 mile. I wasn't there saturday but I heard the track was better with the rubber that was put down friday nite. Scott I did say something to them about digging the track side ditches a couple of feet deeper and someone also said something about drilling deep holes to the sides of the track where we are getting the weaping. Management said they are taking a good look into that problem. I think we may have a real track manager that has what it takes to get things rolling. He was at Hallsville back in the late 70's, here at TRRP (Red River Raceway) when it first started, and with Good Guys Racing for the last 15 years.

I would LOVE to see this track do really well. Of all my suggestions, getting the track "safe" would be the priority.

dont waste your ******* time!!! Its a ******* joke! Its a mickey mouse operation with idiots who dont know what in the **** they are doing. No prep no vht no burning nothing! Running one lane 1/8mile last weekend and then eventually that chevy putting it into the wall shoulve been a sign. They shouldve refunded EVERYONES money and called it good. The track announcer even said if you dont feel safe then dont run. Thats just how damn dumb they are. Its went down hill like scott said for the last 11yrs. Waste your time money and gas if you want and go but youll be kicking yourself in the *** and saying damn I shoulve listened to Brian

sat night went much smoother than friday night. Don't jump to conclusions about the track yet, i believe they are really trying to make it nicer. This past sat was only 1/8th mile but everything went very smoothly other than having to scrape a gt500 off the track due to a lca issue... i will go as often as i can it was an enjoyable time!

edit: dont forget friday night was this crews FIRST time ever to run a track of course things were not going to go perfectly...

Any person that went to the track last Friday thinking it was going to be a good night is obviously not a racer. The damn track hasn't had a car make a pass on it in over 6 months. I know it has been a mess almost since day one but that was with other people running it. We should all at least give it a few weeks and give the new crew a chance to get it right before we start crying about it.

Another few weeks of racing and the track should start to get right,atleast on saturday brackets. For those of you that complain about friday night T&Ts lack of runs and lack of prep here is some info for you.

On saturday night bracket events i run NO E and chris can back me up on this.....from a back to back weekend i have went .04-.06 quicker in the 60ft. on saturday bracket events and on some runs have went a tenth fast in the 60ft. I don't get 10 runs in but the 4-6 passes i get are all good runs and nothing to complain about when i pack up,other than i did not win money but prescott still out hooks TR hands down.....had to throw that in there What im saying if you don't like the track prep on friday night give the bracket programs a try and you might luck up and win some money or give me your money
