I just missed it last year and hate to not see everybody again......................

Your welcome Rich, it's a very easy track to get to 4 lane all the way down. Good roads.

Blake what's up with the cracking pavement?

Btw I'm in ....just need to figure if I need to pull my deal tommorow or leave it in to back up my 10.5 crown call me tommorow

It looks worse than it is. The starting line and concrete was ground down last year, it is smooth and hooks great too. I will call you tomorrow.

It's always hard to find a centrally located facility to host an event that is easy for everyone to get to. I think with a good amount of input from all of y'all,we could make this a fun event to attend.I wish everyone could make it,but we all know that aint gonna happen.US 43 is one of the nicest dragstrips around this area. I really hope we can pull this off. I really enjoy the good times that are had at the dragstrip and look forward to many more.Any ideas,thoughts and recommendations will be greatly considered and appreciated.---RED

the guys that run this track also race......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzk648HFQmM

360 miles for me,damn skippy ill be their even if i have to run over the neighborhood skunk!!!!i was looking to do some raceing at this track this year anyway.from the reading i have done heavy hitters are abundant but not all ford powered.

brono,make sure you bring the tin you call a "10.5 crown" cause its going home with someone else this year!!!

598 miles, 11 hrs give or take. If it draws interest I'd be down. Late June down south August up north for Eric's deal.

you can see the sparks from the rear bunper.

625 miles 10.5 hrs DAMN! Well at least now the pressure to make the bash is off!!!

Blake,

THANK YOU for taking the lead on this, I know how much work and time this requires!

Mid May works better for me but either way the car will be there (Boo Boo and his little crew chiefs).

The sooner you decide on a date the sooner I can beg for the time off

Bruce

Snake,

I'm in and I'm sure Mr GulfStream will be in too..
Need to get some dates set so people can schedule time off..

Ga Boyz...always down for a road trip !!

I'm always up for a road trip .

When we go to BG every fall it is 10 hours by car and about 13 with the truck and trailer. Maybe I will be around for this one because I always miss the bash.
