Where’s that’s track with all the gunfights. That sounds like fun.
Yello Belly? I was by there a couple of years ago. It looks sketchy even during the daylight hours.

Shakespeare County raceway UK! Ran my first 10 second run there in 2001. Sadly gone too... The birthplace of the modern English language  ''Now is the winter of our discontent'' And no GLORIOUS SUMMER will come for us now...

This along with Atlanta (Commerce) shutting down this year is two really big markets that NHRA will be missing. Rumors around here is NHRA is looking for a new location closer to Atlanta, but that is hard to believe given the cost of real estate here. Maybe south of the city. I hate to hear that for the good folks of Texas. Brad Ocock, president of the North Ga. Swap Meet, mentioned in his last news letter that he was looking for property for another strip. I don't know if he is involved with the NHRA in this quest or is just looking to build a local strip.  Even a small, local strip would be nice. It is sad that Atlanta Dragway is closing. I've been going up there since shortly after it first opened back in '75 .My grandson likes to go to the swap meet with me and I'm thinking about taking him to a Friday T&T to see how he likes it. Tim When I talked to Brad in April, he was just looking for a place to hold the swap meet. Not necessarily to build a race track. Maybe he has expanded his thinking on this?
