I was there but had a broken arm. I'll be there this year as well if the new track owners have it. Hopefully racing. I've already discussed the new owners with John. Hopefully they will invite him back with the dyno as well.

Neal, Marty, and Mitch Chance of Neal Chance racing converters have purchased the place. They are calling it Ozark Raceway Park now and have a bunch of plans for the place. They are currently resurfacing the track out to the 1/8 mile mark and will be putting up better lighting in the pits along with other stuff . They usually have it in June to coincide with Brian Thompson's open house at BTS Transmissions in Arkansas. You can find a map at www.ozarkdragstrip.com. They were supposed to have the schedule done this week or early next week.

That track have been getting a little rough the last few years, I hope john gets to come down again this year.

Never been there, but interested in knowing what it is all about....

It's an all day pure diesel track day with a heads up quick 16 class and a bracket class and John Isaac brings his dyno down as well. Last year the track also scheduled a midnight drags after the diesel race so those not interested in going to a pull could continue to race until the wee hours of the morning.

I've contacted them to see if they are still going to have the race and what their plans are. They like making a big production out of races it seems so it maybe improved this year. They are going to do an agressive ad campaign for the racetrack on both TV and radio and are trying to get the state to put a sign up on highway 60.
