Re: Shreveport Pro-Am called off
 

I hear a lot of good things about Prescott Raceway. Kind of a more northern No Problem, it's good to hear someone is getting the message and attempting to do things the right way.

The Prescot track is awfully short, or was. Seems like there was a church (?) at the end? Not much shut down room for a sub-130 MPH car (my C/SM '69 Camaro) back then. Probably a 1/8th mile now? Or has something at the end moved to make more room?

Adger,

Prescott is nice. Let's Ebay those rails by the foot, they are nostalgic!

Mark,
Short is an illusion there because of the tree line. When the track was built we laid 2800 ft of asphalt. It would have to be an 1/8 mile race with todays faster cars. Back in the day the low 9 second 1/4 mile car was a rare find.
not so today.

These are pics of the new surface after track prep. The owner made some hits in his car and he said it hooks good and is very smooth. Even launched the car from mid track.

This was posted on ThunderRoad website recently, MWNorris.

"Update!

Next Weekend, June 3rd, we will have another Regular Test and Tune Session. Saturday the track will be closed to prepare for the surfacing project.

The weekend of June 10th and 11th, the track will be closed as the surfacing project will be in full swing.

Thanks for your patience! "

This sounds like really good news. We need the Shreveport track. I was concerned that due to the losses incurred they would close. Hopefully, the track can be repaired and secure another IHRA race for next year.
