Was there two weeks ago and still no concrete poured. They were regrading the pits as there was a mistake by the engineer on the original grade heights. The track looked to have the base ready to start pouring but at this time of the year pouring concrete in a single pour is risky at best. Also Kenny told me that IHRA told him that if he poured all concrete that they would not give him a race. Looks like he will put in some asphault after the eighth mile. When he gets it complete it will be a very nice place to race. The only problem is there are already to many race tracks in the DFW area which really dilutes the car counts at all of them. We will have to see how this plays out with the Motorplex, Kennedale, Denton, Rusk (if they are still going next year), Red Line and Red River all within two and a half hours of Dallas.

Y'all just need more PEOPLE! ;-) I've got 8 tracks less than 2 hrs from the house. It is challenging for all the tracks to work together.

I have been by the track several times and I think they would be able to attract more paying fans by building seating in a hi-rise bowl kind of like ennis vs the bleachers they are installing. I would also build them right at the edge of the track, too far back and you lose the "excitement/feel" for racing...think street racing. Whatever..........
