One point not mentioned regarding Ardmore Raceway... Fees
- Car & Driver - $20.00 (if using the track)
- Spectators - $5.00 @ head (no vehicle or parking charge)
Real country racing...like Dan said. You can stand within 10' of the launching area (behind the fence, of course), or right up close anywhere along the track.... or sit in covered bleechers. No off limits pit area, per say, so you can wander anywhere.... and no hugh crowds or big waits to run the track!
They have the old style Staging 'tree' (slower decending lights) which I think is easier and more fun.
Racing slips print out all official NHRA info.... Reaction Time, 60', 1/8 mile ET & Speed, 1/4 mile ET & Speed.

Only had high wind and rain here in Richardson. Being cautious, I had Ole' Red parked under the local car wash.
I don't know about The Ranch, but radar showed some really bad stuff there, or near there. I'm afraid Mike's shop might have taken a pretty hard hit.

Well took me bout an hour to get to class.. Did I mention I live less than a mile away?? Roads flooded, tried a different route and ended up at another high water area.. two cars in it with people police just arrived. I asked if they needed any help. One cop jumped in my bed and I drove to the cars (water up to the door handles) and they climbed out of the windows and into my bed. One lady and her teenage daughter and some older guy... Was kind of fun!!
Later got to an intersection were three cars were blocking traffic. One car got out to help and locked his keys in the car! The other couldn't figure out how to get the auto trans into neutral to push it off the road.. I did it and helped push two of the cars off of the road...
Had a couple more high water crossings (obviously standing not running) before I could get to class... Water over my tires completely.
Of course now I have a squeaky belt that goes away when I spray it with a hose... Hopefully its good in the morning!!!

Some people never learn. Glad you were there to help.
Another Kodak moment! Was there any news cams around?
Be sure nothing underneath leaked............

Question for my fellow NDTR folks
I'm only asking here because I know you will all read it.
It became obvious in the rain, that I need some sort of box around my BHAF to keep as much water off it as possible. I have seen the boxes to isolate the heat from the turbo. Will that same thing work to help keep it dry?
I have the template for it but I don't have the equipment to make it. Do any of you have a brake to bend metal to make one?
Whoa....Vicodin kicked in g0od about 30 minutes agao...
