The reason there is no jet dryer is that it is at ORP for the Nascar truck and nationwide race at the oval. See where sportsmen drag racers stand .

One last thing - I can't verify this fact but I'm told that there is not a track dryer (as in Jet) on the grounds - what did they think would happen if it rained or had blow-ups ? Just a thought...........[/QUOTE]
