dirtdemon78 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I was at Shady Oak Speedway this last weekend for my first time. I have just moved down from Missouri. I was really impresses with the track, looks like the prep crew does one hell of a job on the track. No dust, and it looked nice and tacky. I was however disappointed in the car count. I think there were like 8-10 mods and 3 late models. I don't know if that's normal? Who knows of some big names that are coming down for this. I know a couple of Missouri guys were talking about coming down and racing here. I'm trying to decide on whether to go this weekend or not. I don't want to go and watch 10 mods and 3 late models. I am not bad mouthing the track either. Like I said the track looked awesome, but the mod and late car count sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtdemon78 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks for the info. I am not too familiar with those names, cause I'm new to Texas. Just been here a week and a half. I will probably come out sat night. Will someone please post Friday nights results on here. Also, a buddy of mine from MO is also big into dirt racing and he told me Clyde Dunn JR is a good driver, anyone know where he races? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Demon, Clyde "Lil Freaky" Dunn jr races up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.....He mainly runs at tracks with "outlaw" rules for Modifieds.....A couple years ago he won one of the qualifiers at Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track during the Tx. World Dirt Track Championship. As of right now I'm planning on being there(Shady Oaks) this weekend so you can follow along with results on here.

"Lil Freaky", it is possiable he will be here but will not know until closer towards the end of the week. There are some from the Dallas/Fortworth area that are coming...

texana55 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Stephan Danielsen from Boerne Demon, I think i may have met you a couple of weeks ago when we were at a practice in Edna..?? And, Lauren Chamberlain, the 16 year old high school Junior attending the 1A Louise High School (2009 State Volleyball Champions) will be there competing in her 2009 Houston Autorama "Best in Class" award winning CK Racing Outlaw Chassis Grand Prix in the Street Stock class. Chamberlain contracted out her Grand Prix to the well known Randy "Bubba" Seals in the summer of 2010 for some set up tuning, and Seals took the car to three straight feature wins at Battleground Speedway east of Houston. Chamberlain who made her debut racing mini-stocks on her 13th birthday was the 2009 Shady Oaks Mini-Stock Track Champion and her dad was the 2006 Texana Raceway Park track champion as well as a 2009 SOS multi-feature winner. Chamberlain is supported encouragingly by a large number of friends and competitors at the tracks, along with a fair bit of her mom and dad's check writing. She was qouted this year as saying, "Mini-Stocks were fun, but dad, these cars in Street Stocks don't play around. They just better watch out though once I get a couple of years under my belt in these big cars". Following the SOS Fall Classic, Chamberlain will be traveling the following week to the Rio Grande Valley to compete in the Pure Stock Nationals.

dirtdemon78 Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yes. I believe you are the one I met. Thanks for the info. I know racing is winding down. Is there a track fairly close by that has good mod races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texana55 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I would anticipate this weekend at SOS will be a pretty good Mod showing. Next weekend for the Texas Grand at Battleground east of Houston should be a good Mod count. The names mentioned for mods this weekend are really good shoes. Pete Sagmiller is very good, and so is Corey Babbit, just to mention a couple. Steve Whiteaker Jr. and the living legend Howard Willis (Howard has about 530 total feature wins thus far) are both USMTS feature winners. And, if Clyde Dunn Jr. makes it, his rig is almost as entertaining as his racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I raced there but never met the Turner that ran the track Yes it is the very same Steve Turner that operated SHady Oaks speedway in the early 2000's. He now owns Wolf Pack rentals and has a Nascar truck team and a Nationwide team and he just bought out Braun Racing. AJ Almendinger and Ricky Carmichael Should be driving for him. Was a very good story on him on Speed Channel I believe yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
