"The track was purchased earlier this year by Earl Wells, owner of the GALOT Motorsports Pro Mod drag racing and GALOT tractor pulling teams.

The dragstrip will be rebuilt with a completely new racing surface, new guardrails, a state-of-the-art timing system and more. Drivers can expect other improvements such as a new drive-through water box replacing the old back-in box, and test-and-tune nights which will be held regularly.

Both drag races and tractor pulls will be held at the GALOT Motorsports Park, and improving the overall experience will be a key factor in upcoming decisions. The existing mud pit will be also be retained, and a focus will be placed on creating a family-friendly environment."

The new manager's name is Satch Gragg . . . He knows what he's doing !
