Default Re: E Town rumors are true

Very sad. Great facility. I have only been there once. Fastest track I have ever run on. When my race car was still my street car, ( faster than it is a race car. LOL) a guy from GM High Tech Magazine was going to Oral Roberts University here in Tulsa. Somebody mentioned my shop to him, so he. And came to find us. We would take him to lunch with us, etc. He got me invited to an EFI race the magazine was doing at Englishtown for a magazine article. Two friends went with me.
A local guy that was kinda hanging around the car said "We should be at Atco doing this!" I asked him "why?" He said "It's faster over there!" The three of us were flabbergasted. We asked "Are you kidding? Faster than THIS?" He says "Sure. Everybody knows that." We told him "If you think this is not fast, you need to come to Div 4." LOL
I have not seen minus DAs like that, with low humidity anywhere around here. Like -375'. Such a shame to loose that track. The people working there were great to us as well.
