rebelracewriter Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Internet sources are confirming the closure of RPM Speedway(Crandall)....I'll spare everyone the gory details.... The good news is that Jerrold Howell/Mountain Creek Speedway(Grand Prairie) stepped up and will waive their track registration fees for RPM racers(with proper ID)... **Modified and Sportmod will still need to get their IMCA license and be IMCA legal...

rebelracewriter Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Now it appears that RPM has changed its fb page from "Closed for the season" to "Closed for the weekend"......But they've already lost the scheduled USMTS race this week and lots of credibility with the local racers.....

Hook's RPM Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 No one up here is surprised. In fact I think there was an over/under pool on the date it would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelracewriter Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 No one up here is surprised. In fact I think there was an over/under pool on the date it would happen. I had spoke to a couple people over the winter about who was going to try to reopen it and when I found out it was the same people as Speedarama(Lufkin) red flags went up. Then i found out it was also the people from Dallas Raceway....I didn't know about Redline Raceway until someone added it their list of "credentials" On the bright side I did see where Jimmy Johnson(ex-Grand Prairie promoter) and Tommy Simons(Ex-Abilene promoter) have expressed interest in contacting the actual owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
