We all want Thunder Road to be a successful track. Hopefully, Steve is the man who can make this happen. It's a first class facility, it just needs first class management. Our local track in Monroe has changed management and last weekend they had 150 cars on Friday for TT and 171 cars/1400 fans on Saturday for the bracket race. Cars as far away as New Orleans(300 miles or so) came. Some may have come further I am told they made a 9 hour drive. The race was billed as the Louisiana State Champtionship but the week before they had 100plus cars on Friday and about 125 on Saturday.
Thunder Road/Red River has never had first class management and has suffered with their weekly program but the racers are out there and will come if everything is run correctly.
Does anyone know if they plan to run eight mile or quarter?
