niceguypb Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I am looking to see what type of interest there would be in creating a flat track between New Braunfels and San Marcos on I-35. Questions? Concerns? Please let me have it all... Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer26 Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Just buy Saratoga Speedway in CC and open it back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennystone5k Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 i think you would do better if it was built in the Jerrel area. it would attract waco, killeen cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguypb Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thanks, Keep the responses coming, in response to several I already own a business and property in this area...So if I went forward with it, it would make sense to do it there.

UMSCHEIDRaceServices Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Honestly you money making will probably be in a drag strip. Just my opinion J.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KahneFan Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Would it run the same night(s) as THR or would it run Friday night/Saturday morning? If it ran at the same time, it would be tough competing with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RandyBorlace Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I am looking to see what type of interest there would be in creating a flat track between New Braunfels and San Marcos on I-35. Questions? Concerns? Please let me have it all... Thanks, Paul uh, do you mean, flat track as in what motorcycles run on, or a dirt track where cars run?

niceguypb Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Car's would be the thought here...Thank's for letting me clarify, is it possible to do both? Is it practical if even possible? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RandyBorlace Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 any track that runs racecars needs banking, i wouldnt go over a 3/8 mile either, a high banked track like i-37 would be cool in that area. maybe try to get an IMCA sanction and run on sundays or even thursdays if you get it together, i know what some of you people are thinking, thursdays??? well they do it in iowa. and it would guarantee the points chasers. as for the motorcycles, run them on a different night, they are boring!

niceguypb Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thanks, I already have a moto x track (sorry), I am intrigued with a small dirt race track for cars, banking I believe is something we can handle...I am new to this, is there a demand for a track in this area or would it hurt other's (which I have no intent to do)...

If it ran at the same time, it would be tough competing with each other. Thunderhill Raceway is the closest (asphalt 3/8) track it would hurt.

niceguypb Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 That made me chuckle, Yes I am that guy...Good or bad, I do not know? We have had several people come in and ask about a track so I figured I would ask thoughs who know best...The more input the better Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I've got a whole trunk load of thoughts/ideas(pros and cons). If you're interested let me know how to contact you via phone or in person. It will be easier than messages that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 If you're interested let me know how to contact you via phone or in person. It will be easier than messages that way You mean it won't be open to the public??? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer52 Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 we'd be interested in a 1/4 dirt track in that area...not flat...definitely need some banking...something shaped like Bellmead would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 You mean it won't be open to the public??? LOL Larry, Larry, Larry.......It was quite a lengthy hush, hush conversation. Actually it was just too darn much stuff to type. Perhaps a nice secretary could be arranged for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97car Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Bring it on if this is where I think it is you should have it made,bank it some and make it plenty wide,consider all the different events that can be run,even carts for the kids seem to be going big also.

supertx Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 3\8 mile banked dirt track. open modfieds, SUPR dirt late models,ASCS sprint cars let all the other tracks run the entry cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbucket Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Just a thought...how about a road race track to run both cars and bikes on? Although a 3/8 mile dirt track that runs sims modified would be awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lege9mod Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 If your looking to put a feeler out you will get more response from the forum on WWW. whowon.com Thats where the majority of the drivers\owners that you are trying to attracy hang out. just be ready for a boat load of responses, good and Bad. I have a request for a paved track in the DFW area LOL. I also agree with J..C. on the 1\8 mile drag strip , the one by the dirt track up here stays busy as well as the on at HMP i am told. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguypb Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 1/4 mile with banks would probably be a better description of what we are interested in, 1/8 dragstrip very little interest even though from what some of you are saying may be better from a business standpoint...I had a great conversation with J "Thank you for your needed insight! It is appreciated" All comments are appreciated, please keep them coming... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Rogers Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 "IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME".......I mean a dirt track of course. I agree with some the other comments if a dirt track was built it would need some banking. As for the drag strip....theres a great facility in marion. It would be hard to compete with a facility that nice. Theres no need for another dragstrip. This area needs a good dirt track facility. "Asphalt is just used to get to the DIRT......"
