racin4fun Posted April 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I do not know if there is a web site for it. I have not found one. I also called one of the local new papers here in town and they did run a add on it a couple weeks ago but the news paper does not put anything on the internet. There are 3 different CC drivers going to find the track sometime today. Here is the phone number to the track again 361 729 0898. Hawkeye Speedway.

Jason Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Rockport or Aransas Pass? and how would i get there from CC? I may go look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racin4fun Posted April 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 It is Aransas Pass, kind of on the boarder of Rockport and Aransas. They say 1069 is the back way to Aransas from Rockport. Not sure how to get there from CC. I am not good at directions. Your best bet would be to look it up on a map. Dustin Lane off 1069 in Aransas. It is by Willow something.

Jason Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 The track is actually up to the west of Rockport. From my house in Corpus it's about 40 miles. I was gonna go but I need to be back in Kingsville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer26 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 This is sure sounding like an RC track. They opened one in Rockport 2 weeks ago. Sure would be hard to make a car legal for that class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racin4fun Posted April 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 That makes sence. I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Nah its awesome. It's only 1/4 mile. High banked and looks nice and wide. No lights though so they going to have to run during day it looks like. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racin4fun Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Ya well, cheeper then the race cars lol. It sure would have been nice to have some where closer to race on our off days. Oh well, I guess I'll have to keep wishing. Some guy out here was talking about buying Shady Oaks but then said they wanted to much or somethin, then he was talking bout opening his own, guess not. That is why I thought maybe it was true. I have RC cars too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 That was a CRUEL April fools joke. I went out. I even have pics! Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racin4fun Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Your tellin me. That sucked. I thought it could be true. I was told somethin about it last week but thought ya right. Then a couple other people asked me about it again and I thought maybe. I just found out a few hours ago too that it was a RC track. We all had out hopes up. I am sorry, it really had nothing to do with April first really. I had 2 people go find the place too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
