Larry,
Thank you for the showing of support.

To illustrate new Track Manager David Glidewells' committment to the facility, he's literally moved mountain and earth to get the track up to current standard. Two S/C drivers, JR Barclay and Jesse Bobo report that the tracks performance for both equals Holly Springs, equals Bowling Green for Bobo and is within .-03 of Bowling Green for Barclay.

Further, two Super Stock drivers have toured the track with impressive numbers. Mitch Autry's FJ Smith built GT/AA Olds Calais came out a few weeks ago. On a Test N Tune night mind you with tons of street cars and motorcycles there, he carded a -43 under his NHRA index at almost -.30 better than the current IHRA record.

How have the stick cars fared one might ask? Well, Bryan Robinson was in his E/S 69 Camaro this past Saturday night. His 302/290 ran a best of -57 under the current NHRA index. Robinson should be in Atlanta at the Southern Nationals for anyone wanting a first hand account of the track.

Track prep is taken very seriously. The track gets scraped regurlarly and uses the time tested prep method of rosin, burn in with a torch, followed by dragging and spraying VHT.

Consistancy? Well an example of that rests with our most recent Footbrake winner last Saturday night. April Cole came up from Mississippi and was .003 in the 1/4 finals, bye in the semis and .005 on the tree to take the win in Footbrake.

For those who have never been to the track, the shutdown room is very long. Back in the day the track was built as a 1/4 mile track. It now offers 1750 feet of shutdown space as an 1/8 mile facility.

After seeing the crowd's reaction to Robinson's high winding, 3 foot wheelstanding gear jamming excitement, it made several of the track veterans think its about time to have Combo meets.

Nothing like a good ole Saturday night Super Stock/Stock meet to get the blood boiling.

We'd love to invite you all!

From the Announce Deck,

Glynn
