they said industrial jobs..

the track currently only operates in the evenings & on the weekends.. not normally open durring office hours anyways.

Only time it's ever open on odd day time hours is if it's rented for a special event, which usually ends up being on a friday.

It'll be an industrial park, I don't think that type of business will care. Plus it'll only be loud at certain times of the day and weekends.

i'm all for keeping the track open.. but i would really like to see their price compete with thompson

it's bad enough that the track isn't always preped nicely but when u pay 25 bux to get in there, i want to see shit running smoothly. It's not cheap to go racing.

I don't even trailor my shit & i think it's expencive.

20 bux of fuel (pump gas)
25 me & car entry + 10 for my passenger who's gonna keep an eye on all my shit
5-10 for food
25 oil change after the car gets home

Adds up to a 90 dollar friday night.. and thats provided i don't break anything!

Tell me about it! Buy nothing but gas and entry and its a $50 spot all day. Sucks.

I remember when it was like $10 to run test and tune and $10 in fuel cost for the track AND the trip home.


btw- the link works fine now

yep.. i was there like every friday with my 20 bux!

now they are gonna be lucky to see me once a month.


whats worse is, i spent 1200 bux on a nice wheel / slick combo for my car & only used 'em 5 times last year, 2 of which were out of state.

Could be worse. I know some of the larger tracks in the country, you can pay upwards of $30 just to race, and you'll get maybe 2-3 passes due to the amount of people.
