This is What you call drawing a Crowd
 

Not going to chime in on someone elses thread and started a new one. Roxboro Motorsports Park did what most people say can't be done. This week-end was, I believe the 47th Annual Easter Bash at Roxboro. He put together a show with "Bracket Racers, Door Slammers and a couple of Jets. Want to know what this produced? How long has it been since you went to a local track and saw spectators lining both sides of the track, grandstands filled and cars parked on the side of the road, no more places to park inside the track. Were in the staging lanes at 3:00 p.m. and there is still a line to get into the track. They had people directing traffic into the parking areas.

Now folks there were grill everywhere there was chickens of every type there was barbque shoulders and steaks. Everyone was visiting from car to car. More good food than could be ate in a day at the track. Plenty of real good racing. When was the last time you were at Roxboro or any local track and the PA announcer had to request that people walk on the sides of pit road to allow cars to get in and out of the pits? I will add some photos tomorrow when I get them re-sized. Congratulations to Roxboro for a job well done.

That race has been going on for 49 years and is always that way on Easter Sunday. I'm glad to see them have a good weekend, we were there Saturday and it was fairly busy on Saturday. We won with the Jr, which is cool because my dad won it 3x, I wont it twice and now my son has won it. I'm sorry for bragging but that race has HISTORY.

Herbjur,
That is not bragging. That is showing pride in your accomplishments as a family and that is a big deal. Congratulations to your son and the team on his win!! Awesome to see history in the making.

Chris -- Wow -- Easter Sunday and mobbed .Yesterday was beautiful here in the Northeast and an event like this could have been held -- maybe at Atco or the 'Grove . Anything would have been better than sitting with my son-in-law watching the grass grow ..............Great win by the way .

Exactly the same thing happens every year @ Beaver Springs Dragway when they have the York US 30 reunion. They also feature a $5000 stock/super stock combo. Beautiful country setting in Pa. Almost a step back in time. The second weekend in July this year. They even had a flag start session for the old gassers and modified cars. Wall to wall people having a good old time @ the track. Hope to see a bunch of you there.

Congrats Herb and family, I was late 3rd round. The track hooked all day and the laser grinding worked. You Carolina and Va. guys should come out for the combo races if at all possible.

Roxboro has their old track manager back Allen Carpenter, not only did he get the job done in a decent amount of time but the track was perfect all day. Our Jr varied a total of .005 to the 330 all day. We ran 6 8.47's and throught the day. The combo start I think the 2nd Saturday of May.
