New Texas Track ??

[Michael Beard]

Hope things go well for them. Two major tracks in a single major market... should be interesting. Also kinda like the Norwalk/Mansfield/Columbus thing....

Now if Bruton Smith builds a dragstrip at his TEXAS Motor Speedway north of Fort Worth ...!!!

[Larry Sullivan]

Unless Bruton starts his own drag racing series, Billy Meyer's contract with NHRA would prevent Bruton from building a track at TMS under NHRA sanction.

Seven Points is only 1/8th mile.............................zzzzz

[Jeff Foster]

We have not set the date in stone yet, but will be installing a full Fiber Optic Compulink timing system in Jan/Feb '08.

[Larry Sullivan]

Sounds like they are building a first-class facility...

Here is a copy of a post at Moparts.com:

Finally got to Kenny Barnes's place and took some pics. They are posted here http://edholio.smugmug.com/gallery/3961680#230172614 If you click on the pic or place your cursor over the pic a caption will display describing the vantage point and what is in the pic.

It actually worked out really well that I was not able to take pics in the evening. Kenny pulled in right when I got out of the truck. So, I got the dime tour. These are the things that I remember from the half hour I spent w/Kenny.

- 1/4 mile all concrete
- 16 staging lanes all concrete
- 15 acres of pits all concrete
- concrete barriers length of track
- all bathrooms are air conditioned
- all Musco Sports lighting
- track has its own ambulance
- track has its own fire truck
- all timing is fiber optic
- waste disposal for motor homes
- digital scales
- no curfew
- will run both 1/8 and 1/4
- conforms to ALL 2009 IHRA and NHRA track specifications

My .02 worth. This will be a SUPER NICE track. It is national event quality track.
