She needs to have a helmet, with a face shield or a full face helmet to take a roadster down the track. She will be OK without arm restraints since there is no timing system. I'll look out for her and make sure she gets a good run.

See you all there. Curtis

CARQUEST Auto Parts Nationals February 21-23 Div. 7 First Race Wild Horse Pass Raceway Park Chandler, Ariz. February 28-March 2
I hope they are able to get the track ready for the Summit races they have scheduled, my fear is that they will not be ready until the National, and that event will be plagued by massive problems and Phoenix Drag Racing will get another black eye.
With Speedworld closed, and the length of time this track has been closed, I have to think that Jan 25th date will be packed!

Well I was thinking of hitting the Arizona S/ST association race the 25th but now I think I will sit that one out. I sure hope thy get this done in time and the track has some teeth by the National event. We will be there running it along with the division race which appears to be a single not a double this year?!?

Al, It's still a double, just listed as one Divisional, and one Regional, so on different schedules.
I don't think it is..
2 division races in 3 days??
February 28-March 2 Wild Horse Pass Raceway Park Chandler, Ariz. March 21-23 The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Las Vegas, Nev. June 14-15 Top Gun Raceway Fallon, Nev.

February 28-March 2 Wild Horse Pass Raceway Park Chandler, Ariz
West Region March 1-3 Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park
I assumed it was still a double based on the two schedules listing different days, but I realize now they have the regional scheduled on Monday.

There will be both a divisional race and a regional race the weekend of Feb 28 to Mar 3, pretty much like last year. 2 races in a 4 day span. Last year there were so many entries that we were shorted one TT at one of the events (Don't remember if it was the divisional or regional race).

I assume it is a double but on the schedule it is only listed as being over a three day span. No way we run two races over three days. I also saw the regional which is the way it has been over the last couple of years. Double divisional with a regional over the Saturday and Sunday. Meant to ask Rice this last Saturday but forgot.

Conformation is definitely needed..

Wow--that looks like a mess! I would think it will take some time and effort to get the soil compaction back where it should be.
Just a bit of grade work and bring in some 10-12 ton rollers.... how much concrete are they planning on

Sure hope they make alot of progress soon. Starting to look like the National Event maybe on a green racetrack. They seem to be pushing that first race back farther and farther. Really wanted to hit one of the AZ S/ST races before the National but not looking good now as I also don't wanna be the guinea pig on a green track.

Update.. Jan. 5th 2014 We were at their lunch Sunday and got good first hand info.. Saw the track with my own peepers.. Anyway, they WILL be finished with the concrete Tues. Jan 7th. The guys doing this are not amateurs in the concrete business.. Baker Construction has done 8 NHRA National tracks. The man in charge of this construction said the track will be ready by the 25th of Jan. (Summit ET Series) "IF" there is no cold rain storm in the next couple weeks. Anyway, we will be there racing Feb. 1st and Feb. 8th "IF" the weather cooperates. (Arizona S/ST)Hopefully some rubber will be put down on the 24th& 25th of Jan. Other notes.. A new PA system is being installed ($85,000.00) and will be able to be heard even out by the lake.. Al Alguire.. The Concrete has cost over $375,000.00 thus far.. It is over 12" thick with rebar and will stop just past the 660' mark.. (About 700') The crap that was removed was only about 5" thick and NO rebar.. There is a new digital scale, and it works.. Our Dodge Dually weighs about 7027# with 2 passengers.. lol (They said we could drive on it) New scoreboards will be put in shortly with the numbers 4' tall. Green in color I think they said.. And to the .0001.. Also...... SUNOCO will be the race fuel sold at the track. So, it looks like we'll be racing soon.. Chris..

Glad to hear it's coming along. On a side note, it's been nice to have some Phoenix racers down here in Tucson lately. I've meet some good people while this transition has been going on. I think the A.D.R.A running at both tracks is awesome. A well run program for sure. Now, how I feel about only Electronics and a Non Electronics class, That may be a different story.

BTW... If some of you are worried about rubber on the track, they acquired a tire rotating machine.. Saw it there, but didn't take a pic.. It looks something like Larry Crispe's tire machine but larger.. Chris..

Al, It's still a double, just listed as one Divisional, and one Regional, so on different schedules.
So I heard from Mike Rice today, and it will only be 1 race for the divisional.
Thursday Feb. 27th will be a Test n Tune.. Friday Feb 28-March 2nd is the single division race..
Just clearing that up..
There will be a test n tune Friday Jan 24th and Summit ET series on the 25th..
Billy D was out at the track doing asphalt the last couple days.

Kinda what I have been thinking all along. Simply not enough days ot run two races with those dates. Would be nice if he woudl post that clarification on the website as MANY people assume it is a double still. Kinda sucks as I liked the two fer deal. Looks like we will have one less race to determine the Jeg's All Star rep as well now. Kinda sucks for me, but oh well.

I know we did two races in four days the last two years. Just aint running two races in three days and Feb 28-Mar 2 is three days no matter how ya slice it. The last two years we started on Wednesday with the T&T. Starting with T&T on Thursday is our normal Div 7 schedule for a single race. We have T&T Thursday and quailing/practice on Friday and Saturday. Traditionally that will be two runs one day one on the other day. Kinda why I have been saying all along that it appeared to be a SINGLE division race not a double.

http://sportsman.nhra.com/2013/DailySchedule/71.pdf Here is the daily schedule that they ran last year. Al, they did do 2 races in 4 days. Sounds like this year they have other plans, although it is not clear by looking at their posted Divisional/Regional schedules.
ONE Division Race, from MIKE RICE.. Spoke with him yesterday..
Test n Tune on that Thursday..
Also, the asphalt is done.. Billy D says you can roll a nickel from the concrete transition to asphalt..

Kind of why I am not partaking in the first two weekends of racing. If the reports are good I will come down for the AZ S/ST race on the 8th.

I'm taking off work early. I see they moved the gate opening time from 6:00pm to 5:00pm. I need a burnt rubber and octane FIX! I'll just be spectating as my junk is still in a million pieces. I've made good progress this winter though. The engine is sitting on the stand, (Thanks, Brian @ IMM) and the painter has the body in finish prime, color next week. Maybe late March, April for test n tune.

I'm taking off work early. I see they moved the gate opening time from 6:00pm to 5:00pm. I need a burnt rubber and octane FIX! I'll just be spectating as my junk is still in a million pieces. I've made good progress this winter though. The engine is sitting on the stand, (Thanks, Brian @ IMM) and the painter has the body in finish prime, color next week. Maybe late March, April for test n tune.
It was good meeting you out there!
I sure hope they are able to give the racers timeslips today - or it will probably get pretty ugly. LOL

Crizila, I saw your car at the Mopars Unlimited car show at Metro Center, but never got to meet you. Beautiful ride! I had my FK5 Challenger R/T there. Hope to catch you at a race soon. Duner, This article says a contractor cut some lines to the new timing system. I guess that's why we had to go to the tower for slips. http://www.arizonaautoscene.com/archives/32287It was great to meet you as well. All in all, I had a good time. Ran my daily driver Ram 1500 R/T for giggles. I got a 14.88@92 mph, not too bad for a stock 5000 lb truck. They definitely have some growing pains, but it's great to have the track back.

Went yesterday. First day blues with the electronics, but the track was okay, if green. One guy put his car on the roof (he's okay) and there were a few cleanups.
Got one car working better, the other still lays down on top.
Checklist for the track to fix. Timing booth didn't work. timing slips with no names, cut in half at the tower No radio no scoreboard. No pre-stage lights by late afternoon. No tech cards when paying, had to go back to get them. Staging Lanes not marked Ladders hand made on paper (nobody brought a laptop?) Fix that stupid, over-long name!
Improvements all tracks can make.
In tech, make each car start, and load up on the converter, then shut off. Many of the minor leaks can be caught before it gets to the track.
have a dry easel or chalkboard with the classes listed in order of run times, updated as the day goes on. If you are going to call a class and then make them sit for 2 hours, you are going to annoy the racers and (rightly) receive a less timely response. Also the staging lanes tend to get messy!
I really am tired of the juniors and all the time and space (car, golf cart w/pullback, starter, 2-3 people each) it takes to run that class. The kids are the most pro of them. Mama and the other 2 kids tend to be the worst.
A great sound system next to the tower but bad further out is useless when you can't hear it over the burnouts and runs up close and nothing further out. Have another set of scoreboards on the tower, facing the area where most racers congregate (lanes) so they can keep track of others. Having the announcer say "and Bill made a GREAT run, 9>cue burnout drowning out the rest<".

"Bad day in black rock" yesterday for me. First trip down the track and the alternator decided not to work above 5,000 rpm. My ignition don't work on 12 volts, so lots of candles went out. Made one more pass to verify the problem - shifting way early at 6200 rpm. Car farted down the track to a 10.71 @ 126.31. My spare alternator sat in the attic at home, so my day was over. I thought the track prep was excellent on Saturday - everything else was a little f--ked up - second pass down the track not until 2.30pm ???? ET slips in a bucket at the tower????? When you pay good $ to race, that crap shouldn't be going on. Understand the pro stock cars, will be doing some T&Ting at Wildhorse on Feb 3,4,5. Anyone know if the track will be open to spectators on those days?

Also, you sure don't want to get pitted in amongst a bunch of them, they have to be one of the most obnoxious-sounding pieces of machinery on the planet!

Well they have a national event that is going to be run there in 4 weeks. Sure hope they can get all the issues ironed out by then. They have had a number of months to this point and with only 4 weeks left I am well a bit skeptical it will go off smoothly. Told my wife yesterday I plan on it being more of a cluster than usual for the National and Divisional races. Oh well what ya gonna do other than hope they get it all ready.

BTW I cannot imagine how you can race with no prestage lites. I know I would be taking FOREVER to stage if I were racing. That's alot of bumping with only one lite working.

We have an issue (mostly dragsters) at PRP where they do their burn-out and back just thru the fully staged bulbs (1-2 inches) and the second you prestage they bump in real quick. Legal yes, but in my eyes very unsportsmen like. They always hold up the door cars in the water box but that won't be happening to me this year.

Yeah that is not the most sportmanlike way to do things. However for those who do it you and you know it I cannot see it being an issue. OR you can come up with your own strategy to not allow them to do it such as stage while they back up..

Here is my take on the Friday night opening. It should have been postponed. The track was not ready to open. None of the systems were properly checked. They knew there were issues that they could not fix in time. Those of us that have worked there for a long time know how to make things work. Unfortunately the new management has no experience and unfortunately it showed. I knew things would be bad when they waited until Wednesday to see which of us could work. When I got there things were not any better. I had to argue with one of the supposed security people(I don't know where the got them, but they were clueless)who would not let me in unless I pad an entry fee. After trying several times to convince him that I am an employee trying to get to work I just drove past him.
For those that came to race, all I can say is I am sorry for the disorganization and the fact that the electrical systems did not work. Given the opportunity, I am sure we, the workers, can and will make things better.
On a brighter note, NHRA, and not the track, will be in charge for the National, and hopefully Divisional event. I will be racing at those events, and I hope all goes well.

Yes the NHRA will be in charge for the National event, but timing issues and PA system problems will be an issue if not fixed by the track beforehand. The NHRA brings in sound for the fans but not the racers, that is using the tracks PA. For the division it is race run the track but, ie ticketing parking etc. The NHRA runs tech and the actual track surface but the track will be in charge of the rest. Hope it all goes well. I will be there for both no matter.

I'm going to email them and ask some questions before I go to the effort to try it again.
The again thing is next Saturday - if you are racing the summit series. No excuse for things like the staging lane screw-ups - and not even having the lanes numbered. Bottom line, the racers ( who are paying the track wages ) got dumped on a bit. People that worked there knew they weren't ready. Gotta assume management did also.
I was trying to explain to management why they needed the "slick lane" access because the street tire cars had the lanes clogged up… but I have no idea if my "suggestions" were even heard. Unfortunately - there WILL be a learning curve. Hopefully we won't suffer thru too many mistakes as the new management learns what it's all about. They HAVE people who know how it's supposed to work - but there appears to be zero listening to them. Hopefully they will get the electronics and timeslip printer issues worked out in the next week.

Tough Crowd.. Sure things were not that great, but better than nothing.. RIGHT?? There will not be a Friday Night Drags this Friday... https://www.facebook.com/racewildhorse/posts/748508151827898?notif_t=notify_meIf any of you have ideas, not complaints, then put it here on the facebook pages.. They do read them.. Victoria Griffey is handling some of this stuff and she is on top of things.. https://www.facebook.com/WildHorseMotorsportsParkhttps://www.facebook.com/racewildhorseThe track was great, and handled everything that was thrown at it.. 6.15 @ 225 mph for Top Dragster and some 7 sec. passes from Top Sportsman.. The time slip deal was an accident where wires were cut.. The tree will be upgraded and scoreboards will be put up.. Who do any of you know that will put over 1 MILLION dollars into a facility?? Not me.... Lots of talkers but no doers.. I remember back last year when the track closed and Speedworld was closed, there was a whole bunch of whining.... Think positive.. And give them ideas.. That helps much more.. Give them time.. Remember that Charlie basically gutted that place.. They are starting over.. Spending lots of $$$$$$$.. Buying the best equipment etc.. I met the management, and they are a great upgrade from Charlie Allen.. Also the PA system being used was the old pieced together system, and the new one is being worked on daily.. We will be racing the Arizona Super Street race this Saturday even if there are no scoreboards or time slips yet.. BTW.. They posted on their Facebook page that the time slips and PA system were not working prior to Friday Night.. So it wasn't a surprise to me.. And.... They were not expecting over 450 cars last Friday night.. Jeez, that's like a division race.. It was a record for that race track.. Chris..

Hey Raul, missed you in tech also. Say, do you know if people can get in to spectate when the Pro Stock cars will be doing some T&Ting in Feb on 3,4,5? Got no responses from WildHores on this.

First, I want to clarify that my list was constructive criticism, not bashing or whining. I was glad to have a place less than 3+ hours away. Obviously with the turnout, I was not alone in this. We came and supported it. We will again in the future, unless it gets worse. The list was an attempt to give perspective for the track and let others who were not there know that there are issues. I sure hope they can all be resolved, and the track personnel were all great. I don't 'do' facebook, so I hope that someone that does shares their experiences.
As for the guy that said "40 years ago..." I bet it wasn't $90 bucks for 2 drivers, one crew and one spectator back then either! Again, I'm not complaining, we had nice paved pits, good people to talk to, and we would have burned that much more towing to Vegas or Tucson. It ain't the old days is all.
Chris, we were out there doin' it!

Hey John..
I know you were there, Billy D said he talked to you for awhile.. And NO, I did not take your post as whining or complaining..
I think they need input, as they continually ask for it..
No, it's definitely not the old days..
But for $30.00 to race your car.. Really not too bad these days..
I read your ideas and like I said, you can put them on their Facebook page or contact Victoria here>>> VictoriaTWHP@aol.com
BTW that White 65 Blown Belvedere was very cool..
Here's to hoping that Saturday is much better..

I met the new management as well, Chris. I told them your favorite spot to pit was at the back corner of the bowl, so you could watch the cars come around the corner onto the return road. They said they would do everything they could to reserve that spot for you...

You're on target! Critiquing anything can be - painful, but management should welcome the input - positive or negative. They need to know what we expect and where improvements should and need to be made.

The time slip deal was an accident where wires were cut..
The tree will be upgraded and scoreboards will be put up..
Who do any of you know that will put over 1 MILLION dollars into a facility?? Not me....
Lots of talkers but no doers.. I remember back last year when the track closed and Speedworld was closed, there was a whole bunch of whining.... Think positive.. And give them ideas.. That helps much more..
Give them time.. Remember that Charlie basically gutted that place.. They are starting over..
Spending lots of $$$$$$$.. Buying the best equipment etc..
I met the management, and they are a great upgrade from Charlie Allen..
Also the PA system being used was the old pieced together system, and the new one is being worked on daily..
We will be racing the Arizona Super Street race this Saturday even if there are no scoreboards or time slips yet..
BTW.. They posted on their Facebook page that the time slips and PA system were not working prior to Friday Night.. So it wasn't a surprise to me..
:
Some of the excuses for the condition of this facility opening night does not fly.
This is a business and a business has paying customers. Can you imagine if the casinos on the Gila River would have opened in this half baked not ready condition to it's customers? They would go else where. The only thing is, this is the only game in town so die hard racers will come back no matter what. But what about newbie customers who showed up in a street car Friday night with their pals to try a shot a drag racing?
Defending the poor decision to open a business before it ready to hit the ground running is wrong. Glitches happen, that's understandable but it sounds like this was a rush to get revenue coming it.
"Who do any of you know that will put over 1 MILLION dollars into a facility?? Not me...."
Seeing this is a national event track, if Bruton Smith or Bill Bader had anything to with it a million would be chump change.
"And.... They were not expecting over 450 cars last Friday night.. Jeez, that's like a division race.. It was a record for that race track."
Opening night 1983 had way more cars. And talk about half baked, there was no tower only a construction trailer!
I really do hope the best for WHP to become an enjoyable place to race and spectate at.

Track was better this last Saturday.. Time slips were good and the staging bulbs fixed.. Except the 1000' didn't work in the right lane.. The scoreboards are supposed to go in this week.. Weird racing with no scoreboards or win lights.. Kind of Stealthy.. Mike Rice was there and helped get things more organized.. They finally got smart and had us enter @ gate 3 so the trailers won't wind up blocking the road.. Someone was thinking.. We had fun and the Barracuda ran well.. Except when the rear brake caliper fell off in the pits.. Oh, and our belts were expired on Friday @ midnight.... Guess I missed that one.. Going out again Saturday the 8th.. Another AZ. S/ST race.. Chris..
