Now for the fun part! To provide the greatest racing action and opportunity for everyone to qualify as well as minimize equipment damage, we’ve decided to make the following race format adjustment for this weekend: Friday Night - Heat Races Everyone will run two (2) – 10 lap heat races on Friday Night. Heat races will be lined up by draw, each driver will draw 2 pills for heat race starting positions. 1st pill will be drawn out of a pool containing 200 numbers. The second pill will come out of either a high bucket or low bucket depending on the 1st number drawn. If your 1st pill was between 1-100 you draw the 2nd pill out of the high bucket, if your 1st pill was between 101-200 your second pill will be drawn out of the low bucket. The low number bucket will contain numbers between 1-100, the high bucket will contain numbers from 101-200. Points will be applied to each heat race finishing position including passing points. The top 8 in points after the heat will go to the Pole Dash and are qualified for the Saturday Night A-Main. The remaining cars will be lined up in a series of B-mains based on points with high point in the front. Friday Order of Events: Go Kart Heats before Hot Laps and Packing Factory Stock Heats Street Stock Heats Limited Modified Heats Intermission – Go-Kart Features Factory stock 2nd Heats Street Stock 2nd Heats Limited Modified 2nd Heats

There has been changes!

Well the time is finally here for the HUGE events in Edna and Waco. Just wanted to pass on here if Friday night gets rained out both tracks have said they will run Saturday night and Sunday afternoon as per their Facebook page.

Wow! Every day Texana adds more teams coming to the Hudgeons Memorial. Defending Champions , Track Champions and big race winners from all over. This may be the biggest race of the year in terms of car count and quality teams in South Texas! Keep checking Texana Facebook page daily to see who has been added.

A true Texas racing legend Mr. Davidson is.

I-37 put on a great show and from what I have heard Cotton Bowl Speedway did the same this past weekend. Looked to have full fields in all the classes. Now it is onto Texana Raceway Park in Edna , Texas. This event , the Aaron Hudgeons Memorial , is shaping up to be the biggest yet! Even bigger payouts , especially the $2500 to win Factory Stocks, is gonna bring them in. Be sure and check out Texana's Facebook page for a partial list of who is registered. Several of the biggest names around along with their own strong racers make this a cannot miss event! Got my hotel for both nights and can't wait! Fans you don't want to miss this one! Get there early and bundle up. Could get into the 40's before the nights are done. Great racing weather! Oh yes, be sure a grab you the best burger around from one of the best concessions around too!

They can throw out low point or they must throw out low point night?

Great show at I-37 Speedway with 90+ cars in 3 classes. Lots of 3 and sometimes 4 wide racing all night. Add to that the successful Powder Puff and Power Puff event that raised $20,000 for Cancer research. Hats off and thank you to all involved ! Now we move on to Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige , Tx. for their big Octoberfast event. With big payouts across the board this should be a 100+ car count event not to be missed. Come early the stands will be filled for sure!

Interesting. So the team that shows up every race night gets points taken away for it.

Congrats to Tryton Temple for championships at both I-37 and Texana Raceway Park.

Well the end of the racing season is upon us and great events are coming up. Starting with I-37 Speedway tomorrow night , Oct.12. Big payouts for the participating three classes plus the Powder Puff and Power Puff racing to raise money for breast cancer. I-37 never fails to deliver in entertaining the fans with great racing and fun announcing. Even cows wanna race there! See the I-37 Facebook page for details. Then Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige Tx has their big season ender OCT 18 and 19. Great facility and this race usually pulls a big car count. Then comes Texana Raceway Park's Aaron Hudgeons Memorial in Edna , Texas Oct25 and 26. This is a must see event which this season has the big payout. $2500 to win Sportmod $2500 Pure Stock and $1000 Street. This is another event that that never fails to deliver. Car count should be huge especially in factory stock. Wouldn't surprise me to see over 40 Factory stocks for this one. So fans get out to one , two or all three of these great events I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Then we can all gear up the big one at South Texas Speedway in December. Be sure and check these tracks Facebook/websites for details and get out there!

Good job for the three tracks working together to give some bonus money to top three Sportmod teams who race all three big races . I have said all year these three tracks offer the best for South Texas race fans and this just proves it. Now South Texas race fans we need to get out and support these three events and show our appreciation by filing the stands. Thank you in advance I-37 , Texana Raceway Park and South Texas Speedway for all you have done and continue to do for South Texas racing! Although I haven't been there yet I feel I should include L-87 Speedway for what they have done with the GO-Karts. They have had quite a kart count all year so kudos to them too.

Sure Hi-Tech. Why not? Not sure about the value of it though.

An event not to be missed.

We did Heart of Texas on Friday night and Kennedale Saturday night . We stayed in Waco and to kill time before leaving for Kennedale visited the Dr. Pepper Museum and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. It was a great weekend. As for the three South Texas tracks if I were to go only one time I would pick the Hudgeons Memorial at Texana , the new DTK Memorial at I-37 and the South Texas Shootout at South Texas Speedway.

Where can the results be found?

You got that right!!!

I can't believe I left out the rest of the staff ! EVERYONE involved at the track did great. And I can't believe I left out the ticket ladies and especially the concession workers. The lines have never moved faster. I don't drink but I'm sure the Turn 5 crew did a great job as well.

This race fan would like to publicly thank South Texas Speedway for putting on an awesome season. Three wide and pack racing became the norm making it exciting for the fans. I'd like to point out areas where STS excelled. Track Prep- All season the track was racy and fast. From the point the new dirt was put down it really was great. To achieve this in all the hot , dry weather must had taken a ton of work so hats off to the track prep crew. Running a Smooth , Quick Program- I would say most of the nights the races were over between 10:00 and 10:30 and rarely hit 11:00 if at all. A lot of that credit goes to the pit line up person and the wrecker crew. Great job by both all year. Announcer- It is nice to hear the passion and love of the sport that comes through . And to top it off we get to hear the National Anthem sung beautifully like it should be sung without vocal gymnastics every race night. Great job Nick Robbins! Facility Maintenance- This racetrack has never looked better. Facility is always clean and well maintained. Good job by whoever does it. Awesome Drivers - The best in South Texas are found at STS including racers that come from San Antonio and other places on occasion. I've seen some remarkable racing by so many. So thank you to ALL the racers in all classes. You men, women and young ones are the best! Steve Whiteaker Jr. - Thank you Mr. Whiteaker of taking on the challenge of running a dirt track. You have come up with innovative ideas such as the Chase format , tire change for line up, the best Sportmod payout and other cool things.The Sportmod deal really paid off for the fans with an average car count around 20 weekly and some off the chart racing. So thank you and your entire crew for all the effort you put in. Can't wait for December 5 ,6, 7 and beyond.

Great start to the weekend with, if I counted right , 80 cars. Should be more tonight for the money!
