Red River Raceway Track is for Sale

I also think the proposed route of I49 from Shreveport to Texarkana goes next to the track.

Close but no Cigars

Jeff I might pay half if you pay half

It will certainly be a shame to loose it.

Has Red River been sold ?
Who owns the place now ??
I heard a RUMOR.......that Rusk might be bulldozed because of inheritance taxes...JUST A RUMOR FROM ONE GUY......

I was there a couple of years ago and it looked like a really nice facility to me.

I think the money problem is that it's too far from a sizeable population center; it's not that close to Shreveport, and failing that, there is virtually NOTHING for miles in any direction. I could be wrong, but I just think its location is not good, crowd-wise.... too far for people to drive, either to race OR to watch.

Too bad; I hate to see drag strips like this one close.

So basically in one area we have three tracks GONE. Hallsville,Rusk & Red River and Monroe is for sale.
Sad statement about drag strips in that area. There is Pine Valley near Lufkin still going for now.
