Heads up Racing. What's out there??

#1 Post by Roger Blackmore » Mon Nov 07, 2011 2:32 pm

I am interested in heads up racing in Texas. Something in the 5.50 range in the 1/8, or mid 8s in the 1/4. What are the options?
Thanks
Roger.

Austin area. So SanAntonio raceway, Crandall,Ennis, and Houstin are all reasonably close to me.

No! Just what it's ran....... Which it didn't repeat very well last week end. Going back out Sunday. Shshshshsh on the rest. :-)

The gates opening at 7:30 is that AM racing starts at 9:30?

Yep. Gates opening at 7:30 AM!!!! Early start time to make sure everyone's settled and trying to beat the possible cooler temps that we're getting as soon as the sun sets. Jeff Holloway posted the forecast for the 19th is around 70 degrees in Ardmore. Sounds like a great way to cap off the season. :thumb:
