There's no reason why it can't, it just needs a little love and someone willing to do it. Despite how my initial comment may have been taken, I'm optimistic the owners and new management will make a serious go at it.

If you think you are going to get anything out of this sorry tribe, good luck.

From what I have read, this "sorry tribe" has already spent $500k on the track and having met some of the management team, I think they are on the right track and will gladly race there.

Paul, we'll be out there next Saturday taking pictures, do you know roughly about when you'll be running? I'm not finding any real schedule listed.

Went by the track again yesterday - there is freshly poured concrete. Two strips with space in between and outside to the walls. Assume these will be filled in with asphalt but that's just a guess. Some grading being done in the spaces and some signage going up. Scoreboards appears to be the same ones that were there under FIRP era. It will be very interesting to see if Friday Night Drags scheduled for Jan 24th occur. There are no new amenities of any kind that I could see. Thought GRIC agreement with NHRA stipulated upgrades . . . if so, appears that won't happen this year.

Thanks for the update, Jim... Was thinking about hooking up the trailer and making it to the deal on the 25th, so we could get some runs dialed in for the Divisional the next weekend, but now even that date may be a bit suspect... I saw they put a call out on social media for some big slicks to use on the dragging machine to get some rubber on the new surface...

Glad to see they are making such good progress! I towed over there last weekend to run a road race at the East track. The WHP folks had made a deal with Albuquerque Dragway for 4 sets of slicks for the tire machine. I brought them over with me on Friday and, seeing the pictures in the link, they didn't waste any time getting them mounted and ready to lay some rubber.

I was there yesterday for the import event. They actually ran a drag race with no pre-stage bulbs, no scoreboards, no one handing out time slips and they wonder why everyone was pissed off. And somehow or another an '82 Chevette with a 350 motor in it won an import drag race.
The place looks EXACTLY the same as it always has, only now less stuff works.

Went out Tuesday . . . new scoreboards were being erected and new speakers are in place. Other than one Ford sign and a lot of Carquest signage, not much has changed. Signage indicating seating sections has been removed and a few port a potties are in place.
