Did they recently reopen the track

I remember being down there about 15 years ago seeing a track like that around dallas that was closed up. I was only about 15 at the time, but looks very similiar

Ardmore can get interesting as it is on the prairie and it runs East and West. Nothing between it and the North pole. Big end gets a little dusty and the wind picks up it can make you grip that steering wheel pretty tight. I am pretty sure that is where Lee Shepard was killed in Reher&Morrison Prostock.

Yes they will stop the race to move cows across the track if you are racing at milking time.

There's a reason their big event is/was called "The Cow Pasture Nationals"! Nothing like picking grass and weeds outta your grill after a pass!

If you boys ever come up to Michigan I'll have to show you Lapeer "International". Not as bad but unique in its own way.

I was stationed at Duncanville for a couple of years 65-67. Raced at Yello Belly one time, scared the bejuzzus outta me, 1/8 mile track with almost zero shutdown and hard turn at the end (think Fast and Furious "killed on a left turn" comment). Our Bn commander put it off limits when a couple of troppies got put in the hospital during a fight. Big time gambling goes on there.

Yeah.."International"..lol...Do they still race 1/4 mile, there? There may be alotta tracks like it...but Lapeer is "ours". But at least we have Milan, Martin, and Stanton..all top notch tracks. Ubly is good too.

Yes Lapeer runs 1/4 most of the time. Ever been up north to Kaleva? Its like Lapeer only 1/8 mile. I was up there a month ago. Made 28 passes in my buddys 09 Challenger.

Ya know over the years I have found the no matter the size the tree always wins....Hope the driver is ok.




What is the difference between letting a tree grow or planting steel posts. Can you imagine what would have happened, to this Mustang a couple of weeks ago, if it had floated over the wall a few feet earlier.



Maybe it might have some type of shear plates in the design but that base looks solid if you look at the one on the right side. How many more racers have to be killed before this is changed.

Lenny, have you ever been to the Dunn Benson Dragstrip? I was there about 10 years ago. I couldn't stop laughing when they said it only cost $5 for the test and tune night. Place was packed. I sat on the gaurd rail next to the water box, and watched the racing. One of the best times Ive had watching time trials. Might have seen a few Franklins exchange hands after a race or two...

Carolina, home of the supertracks.

I loved this shutdown and return road




Looking back the otherway. Just after the finishline, this is reproduced on the track. They have to have a guy on a 4-wheeler parked at the end of the track in case of a crash to notify the tower. The tower personel can not see in that area. Lots of fun at night.

Good welding on the cage, anyone catch the name of the fabricator? I have seen them fall apart with a lot less.
