damn I hope it aint an 1/8th at least 1000ft but we REALLY need 1/4. I bet since it is made for street cars you must retain mufflers its gonn abe a 1/4. the only reason tracks are shortened around here is because of the hazzards and stopping area of a 1/4 on straight drag cars and higher speeds.

They got all the damn room they need in Bee Branch for stopping room for a 1/4, they need to just build a 1/4 and they would have a lot more business.

Another main reason there isn't a 1/4 mile track is because of insurance. I've heard its way too expensive. I'm stopping by the Bee Branch track tomorrow after work to see how it looks.

Chris I seen you today man at Sonic. Did you see the black dump truck broke down in the grass? That was one of our POS, we pulled it to the shop with my old mans Duramax, that dump trucks weighs in at 63,000lbs with a full load.

Give us a full report on that track .

Insurance is too expensive, like 40 to 50 % more ( if I remeber right ) . Now I've herd from some reliable sources that there are plans in the works for a 1/4 mile track in Pine Bluff. I think money is the only thing holding it up ( they already have the land )

HAHA yes gr8twhite your not the only one that is hearing things about that PB track. Last i heard is they are looking for atleast one big sponsor or 2 smaller ones before finalizing plans.
Like a beer company or parts store or something. I think, just what I heard but it is coming from a man that knows his ****.

I stopped by yesterday afternoon. It looked clean and all, pretty simple layout. The track is really really small though, it's gotta be an 1/8 mile. I didn't get to see the starting line because they had a dump truck blocking the road going to it. It looks like the track is slopeing downhill, so we might put down some pretty good times! I wish I could give a better report, but I couldn't see everything.
