    What if there was an emegency vehicle that needed to get through and all 4 lanes are blocked? Drive through the mud and maybe get stuck?
    This alone should be a reason for management to make a change!

    How about the west side for drag strip and the east side for circle track?
    One lane in and one lane out for each side. Single file and do not block the road.
    Also, open the gates earlier to get competitors in and reduce the back up. Does it cost that much more to open the gates at noon?

    Good luch OSW

Guess those drag racers are happy just to have a place to race, and don't come back with that crap drag racing is cheaper there are cars there that make SLMs look free.
          It is cheaper in the long run. They buy tires maybe once a year some go 2 years and that is just for rear tires around 600 dollars a set. Most cars set in the trailer all week with maybe a oil change and valve adjust at best. You can go drag racing by your self try that with a superlate and see how you do. So getting on here and saying it cost more money or the same to drag race just isn't true.

            I did not say that but it is not free to race ANYTHING so the blanket statement that the problem with short track racing is the economy is apparently not true when you see all these drag cars at the track. I drag raced for years and I know the expense of racing and the cars that win do not sit in the trailer all week they require maintenance not to the extent of a short track car but they are NOT free. And the price of a car just like short track cars, the faster you want to go the more it hits your wallet.

              Absolutely right! I can't believe how stupid it is to ALSO run on Saturday. Can you pass a car running in the same lane? and you can't increase car count by racing on the same night EVERY OTHER track in FL also runs on!

                  I agree with the economy not being the problem just didn't agree with drag race thing anyways hopefully by the end of the week my stuff will be heading north to a new owner so I guess I should just stay out of it.

                    Most of the guys at the Drag Strip are just looking for a place that car clubs can spend a little and hang out all day without any trouble. Just checkout some of the parking lots down around Hunters Creek at nite and you will understand a little better. Hang out, Drink beer,show their cars,shot the crap. I just never could understand anything that they said

                      Then there's an idea for the oval tracks.
