Why would anyone want to go to TMS for one of these eight mile arm drop deals. Unless they are intimidated by real race cars and drivers. Twenty minutes north of TMS is the North Star Dragway(Denton) which is open several nights a week (brackets and various heads up classes) as does Texas Raceway(Kennedale) 35 minute south of TMS. I tend to believe that this type of venue mainley attacks the old Sonic crowd that like to talk about how fast they used to be and they have a place they can go a couple times a year and not have time slips to dispute their claims about their rides. At TX Raceway on Saturdays when we run brackets they have a street class for the price of a pit side entry ($12.00). They get two time trials and then eliminations. The winner gets $50.00 and the R/U gets free entry for the next time they come. Plus you get all the read outs from the clocks. Like I said I don't get it. If you're going to race well let's race. Maybe it attracks those who think everyone deserves a trophy for trying.
