You have your choice of rainout, or snow/frost out. Our dirt tracks have cleared the snow off, but I hear word the frost line is so friggin' deep that no one is going to be opening up when they're supposed to. Was hoping to kill two birds with one stone and get home for Easter and Fonda Speedway's opener. Doubtful at best. |

I'd settle for getting the season started in late April, I'm supposed to be the second track announcer at Can-Am this year and we start on April 24th with an ESS show. |

I am glad that I am down here for that reason (have family that live up north, been to Shangri-La I, Five Mile Point & Thunder Mountain a time or 2). However it sucks as one of my local pavement tracks has a issue of weepers and they will cancel at times when the weather is perfect in the middle/end of summer because of rain that happened a few days before at least. They have canceled the past 2 weeks either due to possible rain (at 90% chance for tomorrow apparently) and weepers from snow/rain that hit weeks before. Although some times I rather have it rain out, considering we race in rain at Charlotte on the quarter mile as long as there is no lighting in the area or if the Busch garage area isn't flooding

The sign by the entrance has been taken down since that video was posted. Nice photos! Shame that the track couldn't stay open in the late 90's. They had a few years of running motocross after they stopped running the 1/2 mile and there was 2 different projects on trying to reopen the track, one apparently in 2005 and then a 2nd one in 2009 that was supposed to reconstruct the entire complex with making the dirt 1/2 mile into a Irwindale style pavement 1/2 mile and they would have added a hotel, off road track, RC car tracks and kart tracks or something like that. They even had a TORC Series date but the project ran out of funding pretty quick around late 2009 or 2010. Spoiler: |

Psh...if Ricky Bobby can drive with a Fig Newtons decal on the windshield, I'm sure you can manage with a hood in the way. |
