    Ive done most of the dyno days and GTGs around here and we have a pretty good turnout.I had a blast at SAR but was way to tired to have much fun and they shut the track down too early IMO.It was my fault I was so beat,but alot of crap going on at the time and I had to rush home when it was over.We could have SAR in feb and denton in may...or a 1/4 track somewhere.Im going to Ardmore next time you guys go,just cause its not as far as most.And to be honest...The OK boys are a pretty damn cool group of guys...LOL Im up for whatever but I think Im going to get with the north texas guys and go to Denton ASAP!

    But your not the norm... So much racing down there no need to leave. Hope to have a new toy tonight, and start a new build for the next SAR race. a year probably will be enough time to put something togther..

    No one ever said replace the SAR event with another. Not sure why that was ever mentioned. The idea was to make another one THIS YEAR (preferably this summer) up here closer to lots of other people. Not sure how anyone thinks that SA is closest to most people as there are just as many DFW guys as South Texas guys....plus the Okies plus all the people in other States. There's not many States south of SA....but there are a few north.

    I like the 1/4 mile too but the 1/8th mile is much easier on equipment and a lot cheaper. Northstar is one of the best prepped tracks in TX IMO (next to TMP). If the new track is that expensive I cannot imagine how much Motorplex is.

    The Ardmore track is very low rent/shabby so don't get excited. I'd go there for a GTG for sure just wanting everyone to know there is no safety, the timers and computers regularly fail to report or print, and there are questions about the length and accuracy of the second half. Most fast cars and trucks run only the 1/8th there. The last time we has a GTG there hardly anyone showed up.

    I really didn't mind the 8 hr trip down there but there is no way I can make that trip more than once a year. I think it should stay at SAR and make it just an anual type thing. You won't have as good of a turnout if you do it 2 or 3 times a year imo.
