I bet I thought it sucked even more than you did. I have been to tracks all over the country. TAD is, beyond any doubt, the worst track I have ever raced at.Quote:

I've been here so long, I have sores on my butt... :D
Ever since linda took it back over from greg it has went downhill fast.
Logan I PM'd you.
I've been to worse, but I am in agreement that we don't need to consider the track for next year's event. We will focus on Thunder Valley and get things worked out by the end of next summer so we won't get caught without a track like we did this year. Thanks to all those that showed up to support TALON yesterday. :tu:
It was good for me... a new PB at 11.59, best 60 ft also, so track prep was good, much better than Hallsville. Shut down area was not an issue.
Ok, so what was good and what was bad about the track?
Dana:confused:
It's old, it's tight, it's bumpy, with guardrails and trees, if you have a problem it would require some skill to escape.Quote:

It is really a 1/8 mile track if you are fast.
Wow - great news on the PB - I found the traction to be lacking on my F1's and on the stock tires on the supercharged 2006 harley of logansQuote:

How much did it cool after I left ? When did you run your best run ? Early or late ?

I didn't really have any problem with the track because I knew what to expect from my previous trip. I did take issue with the change in fees from what I had previously arranged with the track owner. And probably more than anything, really had a problem with their lack of concern about the issue not to mention the attitude that some the hired help had. They won't have to bother with us again for sure. :(
First pass, 80+ degrees I think.Quote:

My issue with the track had more to do with safety than prep. The part of the track that was prepped(the first eighth mile) was fine. I really didn't feel comfortable with trees along the track. The shut down was a bit short...but not as bad as it looked when first seeing it.
The track personal had something of an attitude.
Over All...worst track I have ever visited. Based mostly on the tree lined, very tight, lanes. I won't be going back there.
One more thing...I really would love to meet the two Joe Bobs that saw a hunk of unused highway along a creek and decided to call it a race track. This is what you would call, old school race track building...;) ....Texas Style...:rll:
