Robbie, You didn't think they would leave there with any extra glue left behind, did you?

That is what happens when you use cheap VP Lane Choice instead of the better and more expensive VHT. If I get hired back ,I hope I can convince the new management to spend the money and get a good quality product. I've gotten very tired of trying to make a junk product work like it should.

I saw Darren Dozel crash his T/S car around the 300' mark. Hate to see that happen but anybody that expected the track to be in tip-top condition with a bracket race, monster trucks and Robosaurus all wrapped up on the last event was kidding themselves.
I hope the new management buys the good stuff and we can move forward with a nice track once again. Maybe I'll get lucky and be at their first race!

Wow, more reason I'm glad I stayed away from there, since that LODRS mess. I hope that guy's allright, and Raul I too hope you'll have some influence on proper track prepping!?

This is the latest from around here:

The reason our event is not mentioned is because we haven't signed a contract yet.
After two red light starts this year, with considerable advertising expense,we are not going
to announce anything officially without said contract.

We are tentatively scheduled for early November...Southwest Nostalgia Drags and S/SS Combo
