1/8th mile tracks are more popular in the south for many reasons, they are smaller so easier to find locations for, cheaper to operate and honestly is more like stop light racing than anything else. Some people get just much of a charge from a launching a car from a dead stop as you do getting the top end rush of a high powered roll car.

Because there is more 1/8th mile tracks available here, people who want to race legally will tend to set their cars up for that more than anything else. Of all the options we have here in Texas, the 1/8th mile tracks are the closest and the cheapest to race at. The racing you like to do is the riskiest and the dumbest of all the choices. It's fun, but it really is stupid to do 150+mph on public highways.

I plan to do well over 150 at a legal track in Crandall eventually. Their was like no one there on Saturday... just dont know why events arent held there vs Denton or Kennedale all the f'in time.

After talking with a couple of members of North Texas Mustang Club at the Ft. Worth Auto Show, I think would could garner enough interest between all the local clubs here in DFW to hold and afford an private track day

A private track day is easy enough to do as long as you have enough members to committed to attending.

yes i think a pay in advance thing would be required on that just to ensure the attendance and stuff

We've done it before. It's not too hard. I know the owners of Northstar pretty well. Just holler at me when you want to set it up.

That day was the most fun I've ever had at the track. It's a good learning experience. We should definitely do it.

I'm totally in. Just let me know when y'all want to do it and work with me on my schedule too cuz I'm about to be super busy, so I'll need a good lead time to be able to have that day free.
