The track was surprisingly wide with even a wider shutdown area. The shutdown area is kinda short, but not dangerously so. The configuration is similar to Kennedale; a small turnaround at the end of the track. There is also another emergency runoff beyond that which is approximately 50 yards long. I can't imagine any of us having problems getting the trucks shutdown safely at the end of a run. Linda indicated that they have 7 and 8 second cars that run at the track on a regular basis.
I arrived at the track at 2PM and the ambulance and track folks were the only ones there. I made a quick trip over to Salado with the little woman and was back by 3PM. The first car showed at about 3:20. Since I took my wife's Acura TL we decided not to stay, but I did drive down the track to inspect everything. Make no mistake, this is not Ennis or Cherokee County or Thunder Valley, but I think it will work just fine. If yesterday's schedule was any indication, we can have the track practically to ourselves if we are ready to run at 3PM. I even thought about just running our program during test and tune in order to get back home at a decent time, but I think we have an obligation to stay for the "official" race program schedule of 7PM. It would also allow folks coming from farther away, a little time to get to the track and make some runs before we race. Besides, racing at night is cool.
The track owners expect maybe 30 vehicles for the Olds/Buick event and maybe another 30 to 40 test and tune vehicles beside what shows up for our race. Let the smack talk begin. I plan on winning this thing and shutting everyone up. :evil
Temple Academy Dragway has agreed to print the following flyer and pass it out at their track for the next three weeks to help promote the race. If any of you want to print copies and hand out where appropriate, please feel free to do so. You might want to add track phone number or something like that because these were designed to hand out at the track only. :cool:
