We have a tech meeting to get recertified on Friday night. I'll ask about spectators when the Pro's test next week.

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..

Tough Crowd..

Sure things were not that great, but better than nothing.. RIGHT??



Victoria Griffey is handling some of this stuff and she is on top of things..

The 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..


I met the management, and they are a great upgrade from Charlie Allen..

We will be racing the Arizona Super Street race this Saturday even if there are no scoreboards or time slips yet..

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..

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...

Thanks Billy.. I can always count on 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.

We had a fun time even with all of the issues. It's nice to have a place to race period. I'm sure they'll get the timing issues fixed eventually. Hey, the PA system actually worked! I had my son and grandpa ride bicycles all the way down to the tower to retrieve my losing, first round time slip out of the bucket they had hanging from the balcony. On that slip I learned that I went red -001. Oh well better luck next time. We'll be back again this Saturday.

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..
