NickHolt Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Been hearing a lot of rumors about some folks we know getting involved at Saratoga in the near future. Sure would be great if someone brought that place back to life... Let's hope the rumors are all true! Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyJack Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I heard a rumor. I drove by the track and saw fresh mowed grass. I also saw 2 Ford trucks at the pit gate. These trucks looked like like Chuck Perry and his dads trucks. No positive I.D. Also heard that Perry and Owen where working on deal to open track in Feb. Just a rumor. No confirmation. I quess I better start working on dirt setup for pure stock, shi? box, and Tams. good luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Saratoga will be on the news tonight but not for the reason we want. Coming into town this morning I drove by it and there were firetrucks and police all over. Someone had flipped their Jimmy right in front of the track into the ditch. All the news people were there filming...The grass was mowed at the track but didnt look like anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Texas Speedway Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 The wreck would have been good advertising. We will let everyone know who our management team is as soon as we have it all in line. Currently we plan to be racing by March 2006. We are working on classes, rules, payouts, points etc. A meeting will be held as soon as we finalize some of this information. Thanks for the interest everyone.

thumper Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 If this is the old Saratoga track,its been going to re-open every year.I think its great if it really does,and would be really great if they had a Thunder class too.Every track should have a Thunder Car class,its a great place to start or enjoy racing without spending tons of money or time.Thunder Cars work well on dirt or pavement.In 1992,the first year of Thunders in McAllen,the top 2 in points for the year were females.They were wives of modified drivers. Thunder Cars are a great way to keep the crewmembers of top classes involved having team cars reflecting the main car.Wives too.South Texas Speedway,you would not do bad to consider including 4 cyl cars in your program.With 2 tracks racing Thunder Cars,there could be special big races with lots of cars.If San Antonio and Kyle also added Thunder Cars,there could be 100 cars at a big show. Todd,I raced there before in modified and they dont have a "Getto" Could you be a "citizen "? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honda 46 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 gb, you might have to put in a word for me or maybe they have a class i could take or something. we ran out there the year it closed, i loved it. lets hope they can wiggle us in, hell i would run with the purestocks just to get back on that ttrack. aghhhhhhh, times are looking good. ps. we sure missed you those last few nights, look forward to seeing you next year.

neon14 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 South Texas Speedway, it may be a bit early to ask this but I am concerned about pit parking. From what I understand there is no ghetto over there. I have got kind of used to being on the other side of the fence at the track. I guess what I am asking is can the ghetto gang still have the ghetto at this track too? Can we section a small part of the pits off? LOL!

lukewarm Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Will, I'm sure there is a place fro everyone at South Texas peedway "The Dirt Track". I heard from a reliable source that there will be a 4 cyl. class and that the rules will be the same as that other track. So everyone just remember the saying "Dirt is for Racing and Asphalt is for getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Texas Speedway Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 There will be Thunder cars and once you explain the getto to me I will see what we can do for you.

Guest RandyBorlace Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 What about Limited mods? Will they be ran, also wondering if the mods and limiteds will be IMCA sanctioned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezpower#5 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 keep adding the rumers at least its on the possitive side looks like this will be the home track for lots of south drivers. Would like to know what classes will be run to fit I/37 cars because it dont look good on this side of the fence so we better ajust to tracks that sound promising.
