We should be there by 4 or so. Ya'll come on up!! This is our 2nd favorite track with the 1st being Belle Rose. Lots of real friendly people!

See ya'll there!

I never could choose between No Problem and Tri State. About the time I'd decide one was absolutely the best, I'd think of something I'd forgotten about the other.

Please, if you get a chance, post a photo of the track dryer. Those who have never seen it will thank you.

There are so many cool things that Mad Scientist Reid Kuhlman came up with it's amazing. For instance, right behind the water he built a couple of pits covered by sewer grates. If your tires carried rocks, etc. they fall into the pit before they can do any damage. A simple idea but genius.
