Pretty cool Jim...I seen a video or A movie and seem to recall you had to bring your own water to the burn out box? Is that correct? LOL
I wonder why as easy as it would be just run a water line or hose? I figured its pretty much out in the middle of no man's land...And that track seen some pretty fast rides.

Cool...Very cool Post Jim
Merry Christmas man

it's not really out in the middle of nowhere, typical S Missouri/N Arkansas farm lands. Just off the main two lane highway going east out of Paragould. The second pic of the ticket booth is next to the house/garage and the track is maybe an 1/8 back from there. you can actually see it from both 412 and 135.

Look at those weather-beaten wooden guardrails.....very lucky that in all those years, no spectators were ever killed.

The sign says it all- "enter at your own risk"
Kinda reminds me of the old US43 Dragway in Lawrenceburg, Tn many years ago. Seems to me those places were where I always had the most fun! Not sure I'd want to do it again though.
