My dad said they check for guns at the gate, and if you don't have one they give you one lol.

Looks like a fun place, I want to visit there and George Rays this summer.

Dont even know where to start with that vid ,but that was the scene when i went on a TNT night a few years back.People all over starting line .2 or 3 people in each car racing .I even saw 2 guys racing a Susuki Samari with a Nasty sbc shoehorned in it .They were both smoking a tiny cigarette in the burnout box and then proceded to stand it straight up off the line.No seatbelts ,helments, etc.The track is not sanctioned (go figure) .Funny thing is there are signs on the fences that say "no profanity" ,lol...

Hmmm, I thought that track got shut down due to 3 deaths in a single season. Very cool nostalgic track. I can picture the pits filled with altereds and gassers back in the day.

About 20 years ago a friend of mine and I went out to the NAS to watch F-14s fly around back then. On the way back I suggested we stop at Yeller Belly. He didn't want to, so we went home. Good thing, a guy got shot and killed out there that day. They need metal detectors at the gate more so than at DFW airport.

Yes that place has quite a rep. You should go to texaspic.net to the racing part and look at the pics he took from there. No belts, helmets, or jackets. To many nice tracks around here to waste time at that joint imo.

I am pretty sure you're thinking of Hallsville Raceway (now closed) over near Longview, TX. They had a shooting episode over there about 5 years ago now.

I've never heard of anyone being killed at Yello-Belly, but it is a rough place on Friday and Saturday nights.

The time frame for the shooting would have been in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I heard it on the news the following day.

So the original picture of the Nova? shows it wrapped around a tree- where are the trees at this track? on the return road?

Here's a mapquest of the site. Go to satellite and you can see the trees.
