We have had as many as 18 racers in one night. Usually 10-13 guys weekly. Our biggest race was 71 cars. Entry is $3 per car, paying Winner and R/U. Also a side pot for Best Light of the evening. We have had 5- .0000 perfect lights in eliminations.
Thanks for the comments,
TV

Hi tvasi,
You have a fantastic track. I'm the Phil they are talking about for the hodragraceregistry.com and I would appreciate it if you did list your track on the registry any way you want. I thought about asking you to list the other day but I really don't like to push. Some people want their track totally private and that's their right. I would love to list your track on the registry for many reasons, one being that the more people understand that there are numerous HO drag strips and groups racing on them around the country, the more it makes it "OK" to build, own and race one. Another reason is because your track is really neat and well done! You guys gotta be having fun. Thanks for letting us see it and hope you enter the Gasser Nationals too.
Regards,
Phil

Anybody else that's lurking out there with a ho drag strip of any length, quality, power or whatever is welcome to list on hodragraceregistry.com. As long as your having fun or want to have fun with ho drag racing we hope to help you accomplish that. My first track was Tomy plastic track mounted on some 1X4's and it was so much fun that I now keep slowly building more tracks. It's not the amount of money spent, it's the quality of the group that makes it fun.
