Re: Drag Racing at Beech Bend
How did the diesel guys get it before us i thought we set up drags a year ahead.
What about Thursday the 17th. If no choice Saturday works for me. Pete

Re: Drag Racing at Beech Bend
The diesel crowd has a huge draw. They literally fill up the pit's. Most of those trucks fly we should watch those things go down the track. They haul azz ! Well it all come's down to $$ they have a huge crowd. And the diesel crowd has been at Beech Bend for quite a few year's now.The diesel crowd has been a growing event at Beech Bend.
They (the diesel guy's) bumped us last year too. Did my best to negotiate but $$ talks and bull$hit well you know the rest. What can we offer what...maybe 25 car's ? Good LORD I used to get over 25 car's to test and tune on a Wednesday afternoon track rental with the Buick guy's. Tune 'em and then put them back in the trailer till Saturday time trial finals. Any way look's like we will ditch in with the Saturday night locals O'Reilley Auto Parts fun drag's. Thursday is open , we may want to see if that day can be picked up and use Saturday as a back up just incase of the weather at BG. Hopefully in the future when the NCM open's the Motorsport Park we have a nice shot for some drag racing motor crossing and more. Until then well. Any one with any kind of idea's please come forward. I'm all way's open for some help or criticism. Stay well , and see you all soon.

Re: Drag Racing at Beech Bend
Other option is to block off the Holiday Inn parking lot and run the cars there, instead; of a tree launch the cars once franks pants drop 1/2 down his AZZ crack
