I run there quiet often. Track prep on the starting line is awesome, sometimes in the cold down track is a little slippery. Also if you run over about 110 in the 1/8th your gonna need good brakes or a chute if you have a heavy car.

Its for sale and has been for a while, but I doubt they close it down. They have events scheduled for the whole year.

Running good. Had one if its best 60's last weekend but heard a clunking noise. Thought it was the brake hats rubbing the axle brackets but once I got it to pyle brothers they informed me it was the gears. should have it at HRP tomorrow night if its not to cold.

I go there when i want to play, but when i am serious i go to HRP. I have people tell me they think HMP is such a bad *** track and what not, but i have seen more people not be able to hook out there it isnt even funny. Some times it is OK, but the big end of the track is the enemy for some big power cars.
