IHRA Nitro Jam Crandall,TEXAS

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.

Are you determined to be unhappy? The track is obviously 1/4-mile, and its no secret that the upcoming national event is 1/4-mile.

This sounds like the same type of racer that will complain of every race payout, regardless of how it is set. If it were a free race, paying 10k, it wouldn't be enough. Some people you can't make happy. Come race day, THE REAL RACERS will be there.

I find 1/8 mile "racing" BORING.......
There is a decent 1/8 mile track about 20 miles from me and I've only been there twice in six years,
It just doesn't interest me at all..........
Apparently you are the one "unhappy" because I don't agrre with everything you like.:-)
OH WELL........I could care less !
