IHRA Nitro Jam Crandall,TEXAS

[Marc Kinton]

hey...over 4,000 views....somebody is interested. I sure hope that this race is attended and enjoyed by lots of racers and spectators. This is a NICE facility that deserves to be supported. I will be in Richmond with Michael but hopefully will take the trek out someday myself. Weinert has been there for a few weeks and I have seen first hand what he can do with not so nice places so I have no doubt that this place will be ready.

either way, go, support the track, support the series, win you a race, come to Rockingham in October and win you $10k....what is so bad about that?

They need to start a MEDIA PUSH as I've seen nothing on TV news or newspapers about the track in the DFW area.It needs to get PUMPED UP !! Drag Racing is kind of the "redheaded stepchild" of auto racing anyway! If it was anything concerning NASCAR it'd be all over the news.SAD BUT TRUE !! If I didn't frequent this forum and others I wouldn't know about this track or race.BUT.....IHRA is growing in TEXAS and with Caddo Mills,Abilene,Amarillo and others it should grow more.
I sure hope the weather gives them a break next weekend !!

Weather channel showing chance for rain. Hope not. Temps looks good. Suppose to be in the 70's.

I'm not in the media........have no need to.
i'm just worried that if this track doesn't draw people it will flounder and close down.And that's the last thing I want to happen !
The media isn't HIP on dragracing and tend to ignore it in the DFW area. BUT if it's NASCAR or the Cowboys they are all over it !! Almost any day of the year there's an article on Romo or the Cowboys in the paper or on TV news Drag Racing has to JUN|MP in their face and SCREAM to get noticed !
I'd like to see them drag some sports reporter from the DFW TV stations and put them in cars for a bracket race ! Maybe a double header in one day with some "name" drivers coaching ! I'd like to see the stands packed next weekend by FIRST time spectators and get them HOOKED !
