Thanks for the update James. If you get a chance any number for car counts?

Hey Butch I really have no idea right now as most are still locked away but as soon as I get an idea I will post. It's finally starting to clear a little but the air is damp and cool. Track drying started about 15 minutes ago but with the cool temperatures it will be an uphill battle.

Be careful. Stockers have been known to crash at that place......

The track surface itself is really nice and smooth, the rest of the place let's just say Fred Sanford would be proud.

Concrete seats need a lot of upkeep if they are going to last 50+ years open to the weather. I think The Rock has been refinished at one point, but they look a little worn.

At least I never got hurt there, unlike the old Dunn-Benson, where I put my leg through a broken board in the stands once.
