IHRA Nitro Jam Crandall,TEXAS

[John Kelley]

Their schedule shows a BUNCH of Test & Tune days.With some TEXAS True 10.5.,TEXAS Outlaw back half,KOTH,Top Sportsman & ProMod thrown in. Apparently no brackets or Class racing. I know this is subject to change and might not be complete. At least it's a NEW track in a good market and very welcome. I am surprised there hasn't been any local new coverage in the area.But motorsports are in the "back of the bus" unless it's NASCAR in this area. :-(

So why dont you go talk to the promoter and try to get a gamblers race going or a stock SS combo. Do it 100% payback where he will lose no money and see how it goes. If you need suggestions on a stock ss combo pm me.

If I remember correctly Charlotte/Zmax is all concrete and built in 6 months. As a matter of fact they bull dozed part of the pit area the week prior to the innagural national event and repaved it. That's cutting it pretty close to your big national event if you ask me and I have to say that was the smoothest, best hooking track my old 10.5 inch tire SS car has ever been down. I bet if this Dallas track was NHRA sanctioned we wouldn't be hearing all of the negativity. Put the key board down, pick up your tools, and go to work on your race car...you've got a national event coming to town!!!

I think you have mistaken Tracy, right now NHRA is a dirty word and most are tired of they way they have been treated. I am a DFW area bracket racer and we've watch this track being built for the past five years. Hopefully it will breath some badly needed fresh air into the sport. We are still waiting to see what kind of program the track will offer racers. The owner is from a heads-ups back ground and I've heard that he is not big on brackets and may run special programs and TnT nights. We now have five really outstanding tracks in the DFW area. This should bring two national events and two divisional events with in thirty miles of Dallas. Now if our three local eight mile tracks would put on a couple of SS/Stock combo races I might put the 65 wagon back in stock eliminator.

Your lucky to live that close to that many good tracks, hosting big races.

I live 20 miles from the new track, and I am excited... just wish my car would be ready. I will be there to support even as a fan if thats all I can do. Went by a few weeks ago, and there is A LOT of concrete. Weather has been a mess here, lots of rain... lots of rain! Heard they had to redo some of the starting line, but hopefully all will be ready in time for the show! East TX and the area has lost some tracks in last couple of years, so I am hoping for a good show, and good advertisement. I have heard a little, but not a lot yet. Would love to see them put on something like Baton Rouge did, with that much support. I know Topeka will probably hurt some, but we just need to all work together for the best.

Would love to find a ride, if anyone knows of a car.

Danny W. Look forward to seeing you. Been a while.

Oh, how I envy you guys with running cars!!! I only wish it were that easy, LOL! I just got my bracket car back (see photo gallery, shameless plug). My (one day to be) stocker is still setting in the corner of the garage. Hope to be at an event one day soon.

you have to be on your game to win on the 1/8th mile, no room for recovery for a mistake. Heck, we used to race valve covers down a 4x8 sheet of plywood during the winter and made a series out of it. lol you were classified by how much your valve cover weighed. A true drag racer will race anything.
