Currently in Bowling Green but looking for somewhere to test besides Beech Bend. Any Suggestions. Thanks, Mke McMahan. 2543 H/SA. 254-913-1176

Beacon Dragway is in Paducah, KY.

But we've found Beach Bend best place to test locally for us.

US-60 in Hardinsburg is pretty close, they are open tonight. 1/8th mile with short shutdown.

Mike, there is a combo at bowling green this sat and Sunday. Not sure you find a better track to test at. It will be FRIGGEN hot this weekend but, I noticed you live in FLORIDA so.....

^^

Beech Bend has test n tune Sat. and S/SS combo racing Sat. night as well as Sunday.

They also have some racers make 1/4 mile test passes on Sunday also during their Sunday bracket racing program .

Plus they will be open Tuesday night ( aug 20th) for test n tune

I was going to the combo race but the track told me I would have to leave Sat night after the races and come back on Sunday. That didn’t appeal to me much. May just come Saturday and leave Saturday night.

Wonder why they will not let you stay overnight ?

I have tested on Sat. nights in the past and they allowed me to stay at the track overnight to run the Sunday bracket program.

They have a camp ground next door

He is a cheap prick and a ***#)&# and he owns it, that is the problem.

Not sure who you spoke with but most of the stock/super stock people will stay the night inside the track! If they don’t allow overnight stay, that would be the first time that I’m aware of that happening. We run a few of these races every year!

Looks like gates open around 4. What time do people arrive to get in? Haven’t been here in a long time.
