    Default Local Speedway

    So my dad just told me that one of the local speedways (oval track, and i can't remember which one) was just bought out by some rich guy that my dad knows. They are extending the track to a 3/4th mile track and after they have completed all the improvments they are going to have it open to street cars to do lap times and race two cars at a time for a certain amount of laps (3-5 laps). I'm just posting this on here to see what peoples reactions are.

    I'm definitly down to do this a few times during the summer

    Oval track racing > Street Racing at least. Wish we had a nice small road course somewhere on the Northwest side of town that was open fairly regularly for club use and such. Bah, I just need to bite the bullet and get a car and get my SCCA Regional liscense.

    lap times on a 3/4th mile track? Sounds like timing around a parking lot around an office building. That's about 1/2 as long as Talladega and that's not even a real track.

    I'm not sure of prices yet, and they haven't even updated the track yet.

    i'm all for the slick track idea. hell its not a bad idea in the first place to have an oval track. something different. im getting bored of the straight 1/8 or 1/4s.
