heard that is a really cool place, i had no idea the owner p***ed away and it was for sale though. hopefully someone buys it that will keep the track operational and nostalgic

 

Man , I hope there is a TRUE hotrodder a****st us that picks it up and keeps it going.

Hey , We've got 125,000 members here . Everyone chip in 6 bucks and we own it ha ha ha.

 

I guess it had to happen sooner or later. I just hope that whoever buys it, truly appreciates the history of the place.

I spent way too many weekends there in the mid 80's. I loved that place. Good times and good people.

 

If i had the cash, i'd buy it and live there in a heart beat.

 

I'm in for $125.00 !!

 

My wife and I found a car like she wanted in Paragould,and we went up there to check it out. I had heard about George Rays's for forever,and my wife and I stumbled on the strip when were test driving her car. We turned down the highway by the track from the main higway,and there it was. I thought about taking the car down the track. It's an awesome place to see in person,and it's the definition of gr***roots for sure.

I've never actually been to the races there though. I should've gotten around to it,but we never did. I hope someone will take the track and keep the tradition alive.

 

Here's to ya

Mr George Ray.....

Sanctioned or independant?

 

Outlaw track. like stepping through a time tunnel. was afraid the family wouldn't keep it.

Joe Elmore sang a song about it

 

Doubt it'll sell for 750 large. When and if it does sell, it'll probably get a bunch of concrete, fancy tower with suites and a new owner who's a dumb***! (jmho)
