Hated to see that happen to Jesse. He’s been running great this year and has run into problems, not of his making, a couple times. 

I really don’t think there was any malicious intent on the side of the flag man/Race director. I believe it was a human mistake, no different than a driver would make a mistake in judgment. I’m betting they learned a valuable lesson the hard way. I sure hope Jesse comes back to I 37. He’s a good competitor and a good driver you can trust racing with.

They ran sprint cars at SAS ( high banked 1/2 mile) back in the day. They were bad ass. Should be an awesome show!

I agree with you Mike, I think the factory stocks would be a cool addition and yes some out of towners would come but, for the long haul HMP needs to do their homework in Harris and surrounding counties and bring in the class with the most potential for a high car count. If that turns out to be the factory stock class, I’m good with that. 😊

You need to look at the local dirt tracks and choose a class that there is an excess of cars. Need to work on a *local* following.

I recall the powers at THR decided to add to the backstretch. 

Probably fewer cars going off and causing extended cautions. Maybe look up whoever was in charge when that was done for advice. 

(That is if there’s enough room for it.)

This is exciting!

They were down to 36 entries at Atlanta. Plenty of room for more rides. All you need is $$$ and they're in.

Well, the title of this thread is positive, and I like how it has turned to leaving some fond memories:

There are so many to choose from,

One particular Saturday just before the new season was starting, had to be in the mid-late 70's. Frank, Sandy & ol' Harold would always paint the walls & stands in the off season. As it was close to the season start a few racers were practicing. Towards the end of the day, Monty Nichols was practicing his hobby stock and lost it in 1-2, and smacked the wall. It was very quiet and Big Frank hollers out, hand that damn boy a paint brush!

Well, it was humorous then, I guess you had to be there.

I for one believe there will be many more memories made there. When it's ready, we'll be ready too.

Yes, the car did have a long life. On the CC thread there are a few pics of the original owner building a car in 1972. I believe this is the same car. Original owner's name was Peterman I believe.

Here's s pic of the car we got from Rick. I believe it was 77 or 78. My brudder driving it.
