How is the new track? I heard they were open last week. I also heard they were only running 1/8-mile... is that true?

I am dying to take my new D1SC build out on Friday, but I don't have the safety equipment yet. I figured I'd probably go to an 1/8-mile track that's lax on on that. How was tech at Crandall?

Oh, I heard about them setting records there already, too... True?

they set records for the track... not world records.

and by 'record for the track' that translates into 'the first fast car going down the track'

If they're running 1/4-mile, then I might join ya.

How busy was it last weekend? Could you get in a decent number of runs in a night? Do they operate efficiently?

Anyone know what they're schedule is for the weekend? Their site is just redirecting to the IHRA site right now. We'd like to go Sunday if they're open but don't have any details.
