count me in

Check it out, seems my brothers wife is friends w/ the new owners wife. I will be getting some 411 on if/when we can do a Mopar day. I'd vote for Fall since my ride isn't ready yet.

a birdie told me due to the cold temps opening day has been pushed back until May 1st. Anybody else hear that?

They just updated the schedule on the website. It still shows April 3rd.


Look at the cost to park on the pit side.

What's wrong with that?
If you are a racer with a trailer or have ever raced there on a Friday night, then you would be fine with this. I personally think all race tracks should designate parking for spectators. This keeps the pits more organized for the racers and the people that just come to watch and drink will just stay away from the pits and cars.

Mason Dixon should do this . You go and race and come back around and some buttcheese has parked in your spot right in front of the trailer ramps.

Plenty jobs there still available.

HEADS UP RACING, INC. IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

I see he pays as well as Bill... Bill was tight w/ his pennies!

I agree, I emailed MD last year about the spectators being allowed to park in the pit area's for the same reasons you mentioned. Last year while picking up my time slip I almost got hit by some doofus cruising through the gate at faster than normal speed, in a hurry to get to his friends I guess. In their reply they said they would look into it and said hey, we could close the gate that would solve the problem, but have been their after that and it was buisness as usual.

HEY,

WAKE UP!!

Less then a week to go guys. See you at the track. And don't cut in line when I'm gettin my chili dog dammit!

Yea! The coyote's hungry.
See y'all there.

Kev that thing running yet? My friends got to do a little T&T the other Friday night. They opened for a few people and they got to run 1/8's to test the equipment. Both said the track is going to be nice...all brand new w/ a larger shut down.

So did they lay down new asphalt and launch areas? I was out there back in the fall and took some pics myself. Gave me chills to see it that way. But if you think about it, that was for the better. That place would have never changed. I liked going but thought it shuold be a better considering the time it has been open. Small upgrades through the years would have been good. But who cares now, We got it back. Just hope the IMPORT [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] don't tear it up like they do their schools! See ya FRI/SAT.
