Just have to wait and see. Hopefully Dallas Raceway can get it figured out and get on track. Tired of hearing rumours about it shutting down. Either shut it down or squash the rumours.
x2 I wish one of the owners would get on here and say "Yes we are closing or No we are open" I know that won't happen.

Well I called the main number today 972-474-2600 and it says no longer in service. So I don't know what else to say. I posted on DR facebook and it got deleted so I posted another one ... We will see how long it stays up

They need better management, advertising, and entertainment! They need a good announcer that can keep people entertained and billboards/commercials all over DFW. Sex sells, so they need some hot chics in bikinis helping out at the track.

So a possibility to reopen? If so that's cool, they prob looked at there books and realized its better to try and make some money back than call everything a loss.

Ok who's the source?

Also are they going to pay the dues to get back into the IHRA? I know it ended as of 12/31 and they were not on the schedule..

I hope the track opens up.

Wasn't perfect, but darn nice...

No serious buyer came to the courthouse auction in December is what was floated around. Hope that changes like Memphis, etc., but, people are saying the city is not pumped about it reopening as a track. I live close, but, I don't know the City Council members down there. Any does? What's their take?

I was looking this morning to see if they were going to open up this weekend with the nice weather...guess not. Sadface.

I like dirt tracks.... I don't know why a city would bitch about one track when the track next door makes just as much noise if not more.
