I'm definitely gonna go back, but I'll start new threads for those in the appropriate section.
I only got 1 run in, so needless to say, I'm pissed. (I had to leave early to meet up with somebody, otherwise you guys know me.. I'd practically live at the strip.)You missed out. Anything free is good. Plus, the staging pad was sticky as hell. I pulled a 1.762 short time without trying. Too bad my synchro f*cked up on me when going into 2nd.
Ok, I drove out to the track just to see. Here are my thoughts.
Pros:
Close to home
Clean and pretty (it should be, its brand new)
Cons:
Not running the win/speed/et lights
Too many drunk rednecks (this coming from a NASCAR fan)
Overall very nice venue. Unless I am very confused it is a 1/4 mile. Maybe when they start charging for admittance, it might attract a different crowd.

It's definitely closer than Ennis, so I'll be going to this one from now on. Plus, I know a couple of guys who work there (they work/worked at Ennis).
As for not having the board lit, I'm not sure why, but it'll be lit starting tomorrow. Today was a trial day for the track, to see if everything was working. It was also supposed to be a 1/8 day, but they changed it to 1/4 at the last minute prior to opening the gates. Then someone couldn't control his car and crashed, which caused them to change it back to 1/8.
BTW, the reason why he crashed was because the track doesn't have enough rubber on it from people making passes yet. If they keep up with this kind of track prep, this is where I'll be making my record passes, I think.

I was looking forward to crusing around with the top down while getting lunch , then I realized that the wife took my Z out of town for the weekend. 
Kinda disappointed. Such a great day to cruise.
