Just got this note from Dell Hughes at Track Guys...
"We just got word that TWS will be open for 2017 so we will be putting on the Track Guys Third Final Lone Star Round Up for 2017.
Still working on dates but I have requested March 24-26, which would be our normal weekend. I will let you know what weekend we get and if we can get another weekend for 2017.
Hope you can join us.

We'll see what happens I guess.

Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.
Why the hell would the dumbass tear down the VIP stands? I'm sure it cost him more to have them torn down and hauled off than he got for the scrap. That was the only good place to watch the races where you could see most of the track. I don't get his reasoning.

In talking with Sam. The city came in and to get him to the proposed "value" of the track that he wanted to sell it for, they identified some of the track "structures" to add value to. Unfortunately now that puts him in the hole on taxes so he's systematically dismantling the track bit by bit to lighten his tax burden. That is why the aluminum stands (where we couldn't go anyway) were removed and several structures behind the press box were also removed.

It's even worse than you think. NOW they can't do the TWS drags because those folks have nowhere to watch the racing from. Killed that EASY revenue. LOL! As for cost, Froy is doing it stick for stick so it's a sunk cost. It's taken him MONTHS to do just a 1/3 of it. I was joking with Froy the other day that if the plan is for him to do ALL the work to develop the place, the track will be there another 20 years! We laughed!
Ah, fugg it.
