THAT is the TRUTH and the FACTS!

I would love to be a wealth of knowledge that 1320 racer is. If you can could you give me the winning # for the lottery please. They have a name for you where I come from its called a sidewalk engineer .

so who was collecting the money at the driver's meeting? You guessed it, the track owner! So again, the truth and the facts are island is NOT under new management so for those racers that are going back, the only changes they'll see is no concession stand, no fuel sales, no bathrooms and no running water. This may not be an issue for the test/tune crowd but well see how long the weekly bracket racers are willing to stick it out because it's the closest track to them and I'm told duke ain't coming back unless they pay him what they owe him.

Good Island Dragway has a new life.
With all the good vibes toward getting them back on their feet.
They will do well.

I remember when the whole track was under water.
Could have been renamed Lake Island.

One thing that should be done is to create a museum.
That track is rife with history.
