RICKYSNIDER Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Why is KENNEDALE SPEEDWAY PARK not listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 My favorite has been and will always be Devils bowl. Doesn't matter what is running, it is a great show. World of Outlaws used to be a great show, but for my money, check out their big ASCS shows. ASCS Sprinters have brought more cars to the track that any recent WOO show, about 55 of them at their last big show last fall. Track doesn't look the same since they took out the back-stretch trees, but it's still FAST. Big plus--moving that damn generator out of the infield. That thing is the size of a redneck's condo and almost as noisy! When I lived in Fort Worth, I went a few times to Cowtown to see the fights--I mean the races. No 2 week bans for fighting here, just pay your fine and go! Remember a friend's name-Bo Rawdon- seemed to be on that fine board in permanent ink, along with his sister!

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted January 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I could only post 10 tracks in that poll for some reason I thought Kennendale and another track were the same should have made the last option as other. Sorry about once again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I have to say Cowtownon this one cause I have seen mods runnin 3 and 4 wide constantly around the track. Also when the track is just right that is one really fast dirt quarter mile. When we used to run dwarfs there it was awesome, we got a pic at home of our car 6 wide in turn 3 & 4. Also another track I would throw in the mix is 281 speedway and texas thunder speedway those are two really good dirt track racers who really take care of the drivers.

SLIDER Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Cowtown gets my vote! Bo doesnt put up with any BS, the track always seems to have multable grooves, and they have the best cheeseburgers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97car Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I like Devis bowl was practically raised there on Fridays,but I like Lonestar speedway also, but I can't knock Cowtown either. Devils bowl had a real good car count and a timely show,one intermission and 11:30 was a bad night the last time I went there and races started at 8:00 pm back then.I have not seen the races at Kennedale raceway park ,but it looks like a real nice facility. Cowtown for the action on and off the track,the frito pies and hamburgers you could smell cooking behind the grandstands.I liked Lonestar to watch the races and to race on.North Texas Motor speedway is nice also.I have to mention Hill country raceway when it opens,it will put most facilities in south Texas to shame judging by the pictures and what I have seen in person.

rebelracewriter Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 You could have come up with some better choices there, and Longhorn is not a dirt track---almost but never happened. Doubt there are many people on here that have been to Louisiana tracks either. Facility wise---HRP, TMS, and KSP are new modern places, HCR when it opens Sprint racing--Devils Bowl There are numerous places that put on good weekly shows, he said tactfully!!!

txtom Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hey Rebel-- Outside of Texas, I really like "door stop"cars (dirt late models) at Boot Hill in Shreveport, La, and in '86, I saw the USAC Silver Crown and the WOO at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Mile in Indianapolis. USAC was hands down the better show. I also saw midgets at Ventura, CA in '94, and that was a great track for them. Another great throwback to the past is Talladega short-track. First dirt show I saw was in '77 in Illinois at a track no longer around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 txtom, So was the track in Illinois, Santa Fe Spwy.? Saw alot of races there including my first WoO show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi Rebel-- The track I went to was called "Champaign Motor Speedway" between Champaign and Rantoul, Illinois. It only ran a few years in the 70's, When I went by that same place in 1986, it was a cornfield. I kinda remember I was headed to a show at Santa Fe that year, but it rained out. I think that is where I was going, was it in Hinsdale in the Chicago suburbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Yep, you got it. A writer friend from up that way says it's a subdivision now Saw , track champ, Tony Izzo run the pacecar off the track there one time during a big late model show. Needless to say he was unhappy over a call. LMAO Also saw a group of about 30 guys come out of the pits onto the track in the middle of race, all throwing punches. Talk about a melee!!

Boerneracehounds50 Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Those were the days,...that was back when Tony Izzo ran the Kiddi-car and John Provizano ran the 7-up car,notice a lot of Italian names,I heard all those real big fancy houses you had to pass to get to the track were big time Chicago maffia people living there.Santa-Fe was a great race track,one of its kind in those days,no other tracks had footbal stadium lights at there track back then.

txtom Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Boerne-- We may have been to the same race. I was there on whatever weekend followed the 23rd of September. It was a two day late model show, had about 120 cars. It was colder than a brass jock-strap, especially just getting there from San Antonio.

Boerneracehounds50 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 In Texas,Saratoga,too me IS the best around,wish the track would and could go bigger,I see you have USMTS on your schedual,when,when,when,you have a great place and good three wide racing facility.Outside of Texas West Liberty is the best track anywhere.
