New Dallas Raceway, schedule changes
 

Rumors about Dallas Raceway & IHRA, any truth to be known?

The D 4 Jr finals have been moved from Dallas Raceway to Pinevalley. Rumors are the IHRA sanction has been dropped?

Re: New Dallas Raceway, schedule changes
 

Could it have to do with the INTENSE traffic enforcement during the National race and other big races ??
Could another track owner in the area be involved ??
Perhaps an NHRA track owner ??
A less racer friendly track owner nearby ??
I heard Dallas Raceway's website had been hacked before the national race.....hmmmm..

Re: New Dallas Raceway, schedule changes
 

I heard that Dallas raceway was unhappy with IHRA.. Said they did not promote the race enough.. Owners was very unhappy.. The LOCAL police was totally ASSHOLES. No need for what they did..


Track owners had a very serious problem with track but they also worked their *** of to try and fix it. I for 1 hate to lose this IHRA track. With that said Business and making a profit is a MUST.

WE had a GREAT TIME. Everyone was nice

Just my 2 CENTS worth

Re: New Dallas Raceway, schedule changes
 

what was the problem they had? was it the police issues?

Re: New Dallas Raceway, schedule changes
 

I hope they stay with IHRA, I was looking forward to larger IHRA presence in the DFW area. I was planning on putting my wagon back in stocker trim thinking I could have two divisionals and two national events with in an hour drive of my house.

Jones,

I shared your hope. That track is about 85 miles for me, all but about 8 miles Interstate driving. But judging by the updated web site and schedule, it looks like "booked in shows only"

It is one more example of our changing drag race landscape.

I do believe drag racing will again prosper, but I also believe it will be considerably different from today. I think it will become leaner, the cost to build cars and race locally, will out of necessity, be lower.

In the D/FW and greater East Texas area, the "Super" tracks may not be where we are able to race. It may come down to Kennedale & Red Line in the MetroPlex, and Pinevalley for South East Texas

Just thoughts

If you're going to include Caddo Mills in the MetroPlex we might as well include NorthStar north of Denton.
And maybe the strip at Texas Motor Speedway north of Ft.Worth will develop into a bigger schedule...??

The ft. Worth nascar track now has a new dragstrip?
 

John I was there in March for the Nascar race & there wasn't any dragstrip then.. did they just built it in the last month or so??

Re: The ft. Worth nascar track now has a new dragstrip?
 

They have bought the timing equipment and setup a dragstrip,not sure the location on the property.
And have a series of six Friday night "races" starting tonight and going thru August 7th. It's sponsored by Scion so it might be a "Fart Pipe Junbilee" !!! Eliminations don't start until 9:25 PM !!!
It is HOT here today but I'm going to drive down to check out the first night of action. It's only 103 right now but should cool down by 9 PM..........:-)

Probably on pit road, like they've been doing at Atlanta.
