New promoter sees plenty of potential at Pleasanton’s I-37

PLEASANTON, Texas (Dec. 19) – New promoter Joseph Horne won’t have to wait

long to watch the first I.M.C.A. races of 2004 at I-37 Speedway.

The 1/3-mile dirt track at Pleasanton opens Jan. 3 with the first of 13

consecutive Saturday dates in the Winter Series for sanctioned Modifieds, Stock

Cars and Hobby Stocks.

Following a two-week break, the regular point season gets underway April 17

and runs through September.

“We’re looking forward to next season. We’ve already done a lot of work at

the track and are continuing to work diligently at more improvements,” said

Horne, who headed what was then known as San Antonio Raceway in the 1980s and

has continued his own competitive career on the track. “There’s a lot of

potential here.”

Grandstand seating has been improved and added, new lighting installed and

concession stands upgraded. An old storage building has been removed from the

grounds and improvements to the plumbing system are well underway.

Safety lights and new signage are in the works, new staff has been hired and

safety equipment added. Trained crews will man the safety vehicles.

Car counts for a Thanksgiving weekend special and the track’s location on a

major thoroughfare are encouraging for both Horne and track manager Frank

Torres.

“We’ll do everything we can to get people in the grandstands,” promised

Torres, who will oversee day-to-day operations at I-37. “
