n2racing2 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Will there be any races this year at Red River? And if so, who would I contact to schedule a race(s) there? What is up with the ownership of the track? Can anyone let me know? Thanks Mike Steinman ROYAL PURPLE NASKART Pro Racing Series 512-496-4371 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Lewis Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Mike, no one seems to know for sure what is going on with the track. There are SEVERAL varations of the "truth" going around out there. You know how it goes, you talk to one person and they say " I heard it from a reliable source" that...whatever. I would suggest just calling Charlie Turner, previous/new/old owner at 1-214-447-5849. If by chance you get even a whisper of truth from him feel free to share any info you get. The folks who are trying to get cars ready can't do anything because no one truly knows anything except the track went into forclosure for over $350,000.00 per the Times record news and it's my understanding the auction is on the 7th of Feb. Good luck Sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2racing2 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Scott, Thanks for the info. Gotta be frustrating for all the classes that have and what to race there this year. I will let you know if I hear anything as well. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USST45 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hey Scott, I don't know if this helps, but at the rules meeting for Altus Daryl said he talked to the new owner. So I'm assuming it has been sold. Not sure who bought it or if they might have got some help with a bail out. Daryl said they were talking about rules and that he was going to talk to him about going back to running Friday nights and maybe doing like an iron man between the two. But that's just what Daryl mentioned talking to us truck guys. Didn't hear ant details other than that. But by the way Daryl and Kevin made it sound is that they are copying Altus' rules for the most part and making their changes if any. Not sure what kind of truth there is in that but it might help. You may even have some luck talking to Daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ohm Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well I talked to Daryl and He said that He had talked to charlie and the track was sold that is all I dont know anything other than that. I also talked to Daryl about Altus rules and they are making changes to the Super Stock rules. Now you can run any castiron head, roller rockers, ect........ keep any eye on Altus Speedway web.

USST45 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hey Matt, you might be on the look out for a mini clutch also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ohm Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hey Matt, you might be on the look out for a mini clutch also Yeah I have one spotted but I run an automatic so I just texted daryl to see if he is going to let us run a torque tube. That would only be fair. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ohm Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well the deal on the track fell through so, if the track is not sold by feb.7th then the bank will take it over Looks like maybe another texas track closing down. Altus rules are posted if anyone is running up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ohm Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Last week I spoke to Daryl and he told me if Red River didn't open then he would try to run the chargers and the mod-4 once a month. I so if you guys can get your class together and talk about it and call Daryl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkie Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Heard that someone bought Red River Speedway from the bank just yesterday. Not sure if they are gonna open it for racing this year or just hang onto it for an investment. Anyone close to the track ? Maybe you can drive by and see if any work is going on out there !!!!
