  1. I'm definitely not a pessimist, but I'll believe it when I see it. We all know about some of the scams that have been started along these same lines. I agree with you, Nick, that reopening the track would require overcoming some major hurdles and lots of $$$. But I would love to see it happen again in my lifetime. It's interesting to note that the flyer uses the old SAS address, but with the city shown as "Von Ormy." It has been years since I've posted on this site . . . sure brings back some "Déjà vu." Sure do miss my racing family.
  2. It breaks my heart to see the deterioration of this awesome speedway. I feel as if I spent half of my life there, first as a spectator watching my family race for many years, then as an officer with FASCAR (fan club), and finally as a track official. I'll never forget the night when the track reopened, and the grandstands were packed to capacity. Thanks for sharing the pics, Nick. Miss seeing you and all of my racing family.
  3. I think John Heil finished 2nd. Although Race Monitor showed him finishing in 12th place, Jake Wright apparently finished in 4th place. I understand that his transponder went out during the race. And I think Anthony Monroe finished in either 9th or 10th. And, of course, these are unofficial results pending the technical inspections in the "Room of Doom."
  4. The truck qualifying results are shown below. I think the race is scheduled to start at 8P.
  5. I totally agree. It was my first race at I-37 (and for my two friends also), and I was not disappointed. It was a great show, and we saw lots of cars and lots of racing action. A couple of the feature races had 24-25 cars starting, after eliminating several cars in the heats and B-Main. We loved all the sounds and smells of all of the racing action, especially when about 25 cars started the SportMod feature. I hope to see a similar show at Cotton Bowl Speedway this weekend. I'm adjusting to the dirt . . . bought some clear safety goggles to wear with my contacts this upcoming weekend at CBS! I'd like to add my personal thanks and appreciation to Kris Workman for his hard work in promoting the event and helping to raise money for breast cancer, which is a cause dear to my heart. And a special thanks goes out to Kelly Earnhardt for racing in my honor during the Powder Puff event. Thanks also to Bob Caulfield for loaning her a car to drive in that race. I'm really looking forward to going back again next year.
  6. Reb, Please change Thunderhill Raceway's start time to 6P. Also, here's the correct list of our classes (not all of the local classes are NASCAR divisions): NASCAR Modifieds, NASCAR Trucks, NASCAR TSRS Late Models, SportMods, TSRS Allison Legacys, NASCAR Super Stocks, Thunder Stocks, Grand Stocks, Mini Stocks, Dwarf Cars, Bandoleros and NasKart Pro Racing Series Thanks for putting the list together!
  7. txtom, I remember putting that list together a few years ago with your help. The list alone brings back a lot of memories, especially when I see the "Bendele" name so frequently! Yes, we had a lot of championships back then and so many races - both the highs and lows. It is sad to the official end of such a great place where all of those memories were created. It's so different now being in a staff position. I still have the passion for racing, but it's not the same as those last nights of the season when the championships were up for grabs. The tension on those nights is what I remember the most - along with the thrill of victory for my brother and nephews.
