Jason: George Ray's may be closed for the season but it is NOT closed for good. George's wife has made very clear it will open this year and continue racing;

Bill: Humboldt is alive and doing well.

Ron: Bonus points if you can remember the original name of Hazelhurst! (Yes, I've been there...and I've been to Mr. Smith's Junkyards 1 and 2!)

greg fulk · 01-14-2011, 04:51 AM

Oh hell I don't even want to try.... has anyone else raced @ River City's Raceway Park?? IHRA track....1 year as an NHRA track.

Ron Middleton · 01-14-2011, 10:43 AM

Bret,
I've tried and tried to remember the name of the track at Hazlehurst and can't. I also remember going to my first drag race at the old dragstrip on Hwy. 49 just north of Jackson, Ms. can't remember the name of it either. I took 10 years off from drag racing and went stock car racing and have raced or been to just as many oval tracks too.
Now that I think about all that, maybe that's the reason I'm single these days.

RANDY PAYNE · 01-14-2011, 12:40 PM

We have been snowed in for a week and this gives me something to do besides argue with judy.the tracks i have raced in the us total over 150 that i can think of, plus canada and puerto rico.i don't believe i ever just visited any track.since i was 15 years old,if they built it,i would come.see you in bradenton. Remember,you can't put a price on a good time. "mr.bigggstuff"

Randall Klein · 01-14-2011, 01:00 PM

Anybody been to, or heard of Yellow Belly in or around Dallas? I've heard some outrageous stories....true or urban legend?

Tested at the defunct Lawrence (Kansas) strip (eighth mile) once, over-the-hill, through-the-trees and toward- a-creek after finish line.....saw a photo once of Garlit's at night, flames shooting up and crowd about 10 feet away at start line...wow, no insurance surcharge there I'll bet
