This could work out VERY well in your favor if others do not take the same initiative, assuming that it will just be closed tonight.

Kool. We can meet up at the Shell gas station just off 175 when you pass I-20 or the exit after that which is Beltline. There should be a gas station or some type of eatery there. I'm gonna get some dinner and then head out. Text me 214-475-7890.

Alright, track is really far out for me. They were only running the 1/8th mile that night. Lost of pro-mods, back halfs, and hot rods. They were letting them run more than the street cars because they want more rubber laid down on the track. Got 1 run in 1-1/2 hr, sucks *****. Launch was not too good, heading towards the left wall, so had to let off and lost boost. Went home after that since it was already 10pm and takes me 1 hour to get home. Overall, track was beautiful with lots of concrete, even for the spectator parking.

Cool

I was going to put the kids down and then head over there. (I ended up asleep in the chair with the kids *lol*).
It sounds like I didn't miss out too much if it was run over with traffic. Seeing you guys run is what would've made it fun anyway. One run in 1.5 hours is disappointing indeed.
  • Do you think it will get better once they're open a while?
  • Did you hear when they're planning to open it up to the full 1/4 mile?

THey werent clocking 1/4 mile times but you could run the full 1/4 which is what i did on my loan run. I screwed up the launch badly red lighting after the first light haha but i sed screw and gunned it all way down. THe bunkins did look at me and jeff like we were crazy for running our cars after all they are only lexus lol. Its a nice place once they get more organised it and are open for awhile it will be more fun and if they are open alot it prob wont be so full all the time would be nice to get more than 1-2 runs in...
