Potential Pre-'64 Drags in North Texas

I have heard some bad shit about Yellow Belly ,so that doesnt suprise me.If someone loosened my wheel like that and i could prove it ,my wife would still be trying to get me out of jail.

 

Has anyone thought about Ardmore? Not a bad track, and close enough for the Texans, only about 30 or 40 miles into Oklahoma. That said, Denton wouldn't be bad, and it's plenty close enough to attract all us Okies. Passed by it a few thousand times, and I always wanted to stop and check out the salvage yard.
As to Yellobelly, Rossauto and I rode our scooters down there back in about '85 or '86 for a Harley drag meet. Wasn't too impressive even back then.
Just my 2 cents!

 

Is Springer (Ardmore ) still a 1/4? I raced there in 89 or 90 when i was 16 /17 and it was a 1/4 then.The wrecking yard at Sanger has some great stuff ,but if you plan to buy anything you will need to get a 2nd mortgage on your house.

 

its a 1/4 for the slower cars, mostly from texas, and 1/8th for the race cars now days

 

My daily driver 67 Chevelle ran 13.30 's there in 1990 and i built it under a tree in the backyard on a 17 yearolds income.It had a 327 with an Offy intake and 3 dueces /glide .I got laughed at for running 3 dueces and slots in a time when everyone else was running pink rollbar pads and ZZ Top stripes on the side of their cars with Weld Lite wheels and neon green Jaz seats.I look back now and i laugh at them.Most of these guys were Okie's.

 

At least the slower Texas cars run !!

 

I hear that southern Oklahoma race cars run on Meth by products .Its suppose to have more kick than Nitromethane.I think they call it Crystalmethane .Hee ,hee...

 

OUCH that is going to leave a bruise.

 

do you know why the entire state of Texas dose not pull away from the continental united states ,
and float away into the gulf of mexico ?

.
cause Oklahoma suck`s !

 

Now thats funny !!!!

 

they call the track here in denton northstar now................and the dude would be cool with doin somethin,heck on november the 3 there havin a old school heads up race,its a run what ya brung type of thing of course there is a age limit to the cars runnin so there shouldnt be any imports .........im hoping to have the chevy there in full effect putting the 4.56s in this week if every thing goes right.

 

Any idea what the cut off date is? The Raunchero and i are itching to speed shift some more.

 

Lets go to Denton this Saturday

 

currently , I believe they run the bracket program on Saturday evening ..

They fit cars in to test and tune but ..think you will end up upset
call the track before going

 

The website shows DFW Outlaws on the schedule. It's old school heads up racing, but not old school cars. There should be some real fast cars out there. It doesn't say anything about age of cars, so I think it's open to anybody that thinks they are fast enough. All it says is "doorslammers".

Is quarter mile racing at Little River just over and out? is that left hand curve shut down area (or into the river) too scary for the faster cars? I've only been to the track a few times and its the coolest place..did it used to be a quarter-mile track?...

 

bigken, why not lets meet during the denton run Nov 10 and discuss? Ron!

 

Absolutely - will be in touch.

those are basically pro mod cars, they run in the 4's and low 5's in the eighth mile 180 mph or so ....

 

Yep, it'd be fun to go watch those guys run.

Have you ever checked out www.tmccc.org . The Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge holds events throughout Texas and a couple in Oklahoma. It's more racing racing like you are talking about. Lux, a couple of others, and I are considering putting a team together for next year. The cars may be a little new for your taste, but I thought I'd pass it along anyhow.

 

well what do i know i just live here and all im sayin is its a heads up race you know old school type of thing....you know run what you brung and hope you brung enough the guy that owns the track came buy the shop and said there will be door slammers there but tthat dont mean you gotta run em there runnin each other if i understand right...........yes saturday is normally straight up time brackets but on the third there suppose to be just heads up no time again if i understand it right................and to be clear i never meant to mislead anyone on the old school cars only just meant there shouldnt be any imports,if we all show up in old school cars then it will be mostly old school cars ....................and that is all im gone!

 

I am going to Yellow belly Saturday night, stay tuned for youtube

 

Ha, keep low Rusty!

 

the tech at hmp in houston is a joke. ive seen atv's and go carts go down that track

 

hey where da white womens at !

 

Everyone that likes to race should meet at Denton friday night before PNP.

 

rusty ill go with ya.....
and yea you might wanta leave your wife at home....

 

You can count me in for Saturday night Rusty.Maybe i can get Scrape to split the gas money this time so we can ride together.Ha,ha ,ha...You might want to take Troy's advise and leave your wife and kids home .I hear they get a bit rowdy down there on Sat nights.Let me know what time your going Saturday.I think its about an hour and a half from Sherman...

 

Cool, I quess somewhere in the range of 6-7pm head out. I would not think it would get to good till around 100 anyway. I got to get some work done Saturday but the plan is to head out in the evening. I will try to find out what time they get started. If there like any other outlaw track I bet it will be a late start.
