texana55 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks for posting those dates. Lots of good shows coming up all at once and good to have the info organized in one spot to view. We're gonna make a haul up to Superbowl in Greenville for the Longhorn Roundup on Feb 20 & 21, and have a run with the Young Guns Mini-Stocks. Should be fun. Hope to catch one of STS' early practices before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Thanx Monty, I did it for the new LSS dirt track calendar, but Nick put it over here...... Tell Lauren Good Luck!!!!.....some of those boys are tough competition and have been racing since they were 12(or younger).....It's in their blood and genes.... The Round-up used to be one of the premier shows in Texas when it was held at North Texas Spwy.(Royse City---now a school )paying 20K to win and getting 200+ modifieds showing up....It's not near the same anymore....I think it's paying mods 2K to win this year. On the bright side, the mini's should get to race before 3AM....LOL So did you and Tony work out any Young Gun dates for Texana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC57 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 One of the better tracks in the Houston area, Battleground speedway, reopens and starts their season 02/28. And I believe it's been reported elsewhere on this site, but just in case you missed it, the WOO Late Models visit Battleground 03/20. And from what I've read of the payout,should be a good show, attractive enough that som ebig names may travel down. Heck, I'll probably be racing my Mod there that weekend, so if nothing else entices you to go, that should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kind of things mean a lot to her. She's very excited about getting to run with the group. I have family in McKinney, Princeton and Farmersville, so this will be a good opportunity for them to see her run if they want.... They sure can't say that it is too far for them if we haul to Greenville. Also, it's a good chance for her to run with some other drivers and get experience on a different track. A good prelude to our 2010 plans..... I had a chance to go to Royse City a couple of times in 89 or 90. That sure was an awesome facility at the time... Tony and I talked in December about a date for July that would work with their calendar, but we talked again lat week and he was having trouble getting commitments from the regulars at present. It may be too far of a distance for the teens as the majority live in the northern Central Texas area as best as I can tell. But, I'm holding out hope. I think his series is a real good deal for the kids, and he seems to really care about helping the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
