yeah i was with djlackore and just like he said...only problem was the bs about letting the bikes and promod's go seriously 5 runs in the same time that we were in the same damn line just to get our first run..3 HOURS!!!! ridiculous...and then on my only run i spun like a **** and fucked up and got a 9.4 haha....shitty...like we said hopefully it gets better on paying test and tune night's so that i can get multiple runs in.

i didnt run, but saw a lot of racing, I think it was badass, didnt think it was taking you guys that long to stage up since Dirty ran like 3 times. It is a very nice track, with lots of powerfull cars, I would drive their anytime. I'll post up a vid of some of the races that I was able to see. We should really have a tech GTG their. Dallas Raceway is the best track in North Texas IMO....

tell them to fire the staging lanes guy and hire me! Jesus was behind the red C5 and was gonna race him but the staging guy made them race who ever was next to them. It was fun tho and its all good. Like JebuzWS6 said, its the best track so far just needs time to settle down. We should definitely have a GtG there on a test and tune night. I'll bring the grill!

oh i ran 3 times cause i got there around 6:30 when there was only about 20 cars right after the first race/wreck. Hey ricekiller, you know it took you guys like 10 seconds to think and jump in the RV's? Everyone freaked out and panicked when they wrecked and for those few seconds did nothing. It was a good experience for you guys as well cause next time you guys will be more organized. Great work tho!

It will be a darn nice track once the bugs get worked out. Besides the staging lane snafu, they need better pit management as you had to snake through cars and trailers to get to the lanes, cars were parked too near where you make the 90-degree turn off the return road, etc.

I got there about 7:30 pm in my stock WS6 Formula (non-evil twin to my other one in my sig) to make a run in it, just to say I did on opening night. Not...took a look at the line and just went in the pit side and walked around with my sons and watched some of the races. Oh, well. Teething pains. We're going tonight for the ProMods if the rain stays away. Take care. Dave

Thats what I mean, you got to race pretty good amount of times, take in to consideration the time you were not in the staging lanes,walking around, and the clean ups that took place, but 1 race in 3 hours I dont know if I believe that

I made 3 passes and the track wasnt very sticky imho. couldnt cut better than a 1.62 60'. That will all improve though im sure with time and more rubber. It wasnt the most organized but that is to be expected on the very first night. Im sure it will get better and yeah i would go back out there.

I agree with you i could only cut 1.6 60' also.it wasnt very sticky at all.My best of the night was 7.12 but had a great time over all,cant wait till they get all the bugs worked out.

That was the whole point of a free night to try to get cars to lay down rubber cause there is none down. And we just had a promod run 200mph and 3.85 so give it another week or two and come see how it is
