I am afterall a truck driver by trade.

I'm just saying that's a haul.

I use a 53' semi trailer to haul my junk up to Sturgis SD every year for the mud drags at the bike rally. 10hrs one way. Oh yeah, we do drink a little beer up there, and for the brave ones a little beverage called Cheez Whiz.

I have an update on Motels and available Camping in the US43 Dragway, Lawrenceburg Tn. area;
Richland Inn----(931) 762-0061 or 1 (800) 742-4526 (This is where our group will be staying)

David Crockett Motel----(931) 762-7191
Parkview Motel----(931) 762-2412
Villa Inn----(still can't find the number for the Villa but it is the lowest rated of all the Motels)

ALSO (Camping)
David Crockett State Park, Lawrenceburg, Tn.----(931) 762-9408 (Beautiful place) park is about 8-10 miles from track just out of Lawrenceburg.

its a nice place,you and the kids will love it.

What's the damage on the cabins? Gonna bring the wife and 2 kids. Debated on tenting it like we normally do, but think a cabin with a bed would be nicer after playing in the dirt. We are doing the same with the week vacation. What dates you gonna be there Bruno? I'll bring a bunch of venison for dinner!

they have some nice camp grounds too.....

A little bit about our town. We have a population of around 11,000 people. As was mentioned earlier, David Crockett State Park is our main tourist draw. There are several hotels as well as eateries. Very nice, clean community.

Thanks,
Andy Hunt

If I got the Stang back together by then count me in

What kind of tech will this track do??? Will it be basic stuff or a NHRA type deal cert chassis ect.. Just woundering so I would know which car to bring ?

Tech will be lenient, so to speak

I have two car's they are both safe car's my fox body is cert my 65 is not. Thinking of which one to bring. thanks Ward

Is the track N.H.R.A. or IH.R.A.?

Yeah, and how will the dirt drag's be teched? Out East, there really is no tech beyond a few specific items they check for (i.e. drive shaft loops, scatter shields, helmets) but there is no cert requirement on cages. Just wanna be sure my junk will be ok to hit the dirt.

i thought the dirt drags were cancelled ????????????

Unfortunately, the dirt drags will have to be cancelled. After looking at our insurance policy, this type of competition isn't covered under our current policy.

We aren't affiliated with either IHRA or NHRA, we have insurance through a private company.

Current chassis tags won't be required, but standard safety items will be checked.

Thanks,
Andy

what????????????? i already had plans to drag the truck out to play.

Tell us what you check on a weekly basis during your normal bracket races. There should be nothing extra beyond that for this race. Should be like the promoter extrodinaire Mike Franks says, "come on in, we will tech your billfold!"

Our normal tech is very simple.

Belts in good condition
Radiator overflow catch can required
Below 8.00, helmets required
Below 7.50, roll bars required
Below 6.50, jacket required

Guys Andy will have the layout of the schedule and classes maybe this afternoon.

Also PM me pictures of your cars and I will have Andy or Russell make up fliers for us to hand out for the race.

Sorry but there will not be a dirt drag this year, they can't because of the insurance regulations.

Anybody that would like to sponsor a class or maybe more please contact me. Andy is ready to start handling that now.

Thanks..............

Any updates with classesd and a schedule of times for Friday and Sat?

Barring any mechanical issues, or wrecks, we will be there with a SBF powered Mustang. Since schools out my kids will be coming along as well. Anybody else bringing their kids?
