So, there WAS 0% chance of rain in Maple Grove....
We're so screwed now!!!!

Looks like the "fine Noble facility" is all we are going to have now. Tulsa Raceway Park is closing at the end of the month.

So with Tulsa closing, does that mean Houston gets 3 divisionals next year?? Whats with all these D-4 tracks closing the past 3-4 years? Somethings gotta give!!

Sorry to see Tulsa is closing.

No David I don't think Houston will get a third points meet. However, No Problem may be worth looking at for a second points meet. One in the spring and another one around late in the season.

Where's Ed Obrien???????????????????????????????????????????? ??

Ed Wright · 10-05-2011, 08:52 PM

Have not see or heard from him since just before Noble 2009. He didn't make that race. Guess he just quit. Probably smarter than the rest of us.

John, I heartly agree. The fall race at No Problem is a great idea!
As David points out, we have lost so many Div. 4 tracks, it's heartbreaking.

Ed Wright · 10-05-2011, 09:28 PM

A second Ennis points race maybe? More central location.

Have to say I am having trouble deciding whether or not to leave in the morning. Now showing 50% Sat and Sun. I was there last year and parked in the mud. Spent 3 days in the hotel room and then 1 run on Monday and first round after that, lost, packed up and went home. What a cluster. I don't know if I want to go through that again.

Belle Rose is a hell of a tow from Dallas, they already have 2 events, do they really need a 3rd?

Ennis and Houston are more capable of handling large car counts for divisionals. Belle Rose has been blessed with some really abnormally dry conditions for several years. It can rain like crazy there. I was raised in that part of the country and have first hand experience.
