OK gang, its time for some downhome fun at the final installment of the 2011 NitroPlate Combo series at the New Jackson [Tn] Dragway.
So far the track has shown tons of promise with the class cars. To date this year: -Matt Hoover has ran -.90 under his NHRA index and says he's ran better times in his record holding SS/TC Chevy S 10 here than he ever has at Bowling Green. - Alex Owens killer M/SA was dialed -.80 under his NHRA index recently. -Amy Faulk was dialed -.72 under her index in a lane that had trans fluid dumped on it from start to finish less than two hours prior. [She went to the semis that night] -Kenny Bomar, runner up at the big $5,000-to win Combo at Bowling Green, has his stick car with the front bumper 3 feet in the air. -About a dozen cars have ran better here than the current IHRA record or minimum. [How bout a record run soon ya'll?] So here's a thought: if Bowling Green can draw over 60 cars, according to Jimmy Bridges, for a $1,000 to win race, how many Combo racers will invade Jackson! The track features a brand new concrete burnout box followed by a 285-foot laser leveled concrete launch pad. New expanded pits feature fresh asphalt. So whose gonna be there to take the guaranteed $2,000 to win purse? And as the Announcer for the day, I get the honor of calling combo events since 1993 at Music City. I can still here those small block stick cars in my sleep! Oh and help a guy out please, bring a little cheat sheet on your car/driver. Like: Engine size/HP rating, accomplishments like Nat'l/Div event wins, former record holder, Div Champ etc. Its a chance to brag on yourself a little bit! Gates open Sunday Nov 6th at 10 ct, time trials start at Noon ct. Entry only $50 Here's a link to the Weather Channel's website with local Jackson forecast. http://www.weather.com/weather/today...rchbox_localwx Track's address for your GPS 79 Ranger Road Jackson, Tn. 38301 731-427-5536 Track Manager David Glidewell Personal Cell 662-212-3516 Driving directions from I-40 Take I-40 to exit 85 headed south, left at the 3rd light [N.
