We in Louisiana have really been hit hard this year. Of the 4 tracks in the State 2 have/will close.

Twin City in Monroe LA. did not open this year reportedly because one of the owners had problems with the law and apparently the track was foreclosed by the bank. We hated to see this track go because it was an extremely well run and friendly track. BTW I understand the track will be sold at a Sheriffs sale next week if anyone is looking to own a track. It's really sad because the owners have spent a ton of money in upgrades in the last few years. Let's just hope that whoever buys it will continue to operate it as a Drag Race Facility.

The second track, Thunder Road Raceway, at Gilliam Louisiana is supposed to close the end of this month. Supposedly the owners are going to turn it into an airfield. Th/is is an extremely nice facility which has had its ups and downs since the first day it opened years ago. If the airfield can't make it let's hope it becomes a race track again!!

These closures mean that there is no drag race facility in the state North of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Woe is us!!!
