Not again...

Any reasons given Bill? I am not seeing anything on IHRA or Dallas Raceway website's.

Any idea where and when for the scheduled division race?

thanks
Ken

Wow! I'm speechless. We were just there bracket racing about two weeks ago and spoke to someone in the tower that said they were doing well and paying their bills and things looked good. ??? Car count was seriously low that day. The points meet was going to be our first class racing outing; just picked up our trailer last weekend as well as all necessary towing equipment. What a bummer! That's only an hour from us and was going to be our favorite place to race; first class facility.

Ken and Molly Hall. Class act raced with them for years. Shame the bank pulled the plug.
