heres the deal.....the place got stomped 2 times by torandos a one hurricane in the last 8-10 years...horriffic damage occured..

when we as a club agreed to go race there the deal was for him to start doing improvements...none happened but the place was slammed by a tornado...he did buy a asplalt machie and a roller to start repairing the return road and the entrance road though..

offering to help do repairs...i should rephrase that...we need to offer track prep help so that the "teeth" will come back out..he doesnt prep it corectly on saturdays because the crowds arent as big and it does cost alot of money for that stuff...if we convince him to spray it and pool resourses to get some people there hell keep doing it

talking back with the old guys thats raced there for years theres always been a bump 100 foot out and always the roughness on top end.

talking to one racer that was there sunday..his short times at state capital is 1.43 and thats at night....sunday in eunice he went 1.45 in the heat with 120 degree track temp...not to bad for a track that hadnt had many runs on it in a years time i think..

our 10.5w tire blown alky car went 160 something mph out there...no problems if we prepped the track...

now the motor is going in a split window vette..the boost will go way back up..it will be run out there also...but only if the track is prepped.

F.Y.I.

Evadale just went up on spectator admissions by 3 bucks a head...he sees that he couldnt put $ in his pockets at the rate he was going....soon the racer fees will go up too if the spectator count dont support the $ he needs to make it profitable...

remember this is a buisness for these track owners...not a hobby

No Problem Raceway has a 29,000 a month note on the place out there...i can see with some bad luck like art has had happening there it never reopening it.

Art has spent 15-20000 dollars in note payments and didnt have a one person come thru the gate.

i would have given up 10 years ago after 1st tornado...he kept a old track open for the love of the sport...

if hes willing to put profits back into the track to resurface im in to help get the teeth back in the starting area....what about everyone else

richard he was doomed from the start 10 years ago...he signed his life away so that there would be a place for some to go...i agree he needs to be the one to do the improvements.....he has kept the place for the last 10 years despite the 2 times he got destroyed by tornadosand even after faslling 50 foot off a lite pole....sall for what....to give the lil guys a place to go -- eddie, 18:37:03 07/09/03 Wed
