We didn't know until recently... Guys, this isn't really a bad thing. The lot is good. I have run there. Jeff went by and took a look at it and he said the pavement is actually a little better. The lot is a different shape. We should still have roughly the same course size.

Trust me guys when I say we DON'T WANT TO piss off this group at BMS as the same owners own BMS and Zmax and zmax is 3500.00 a day plus 250.00 an hour for the on site ambulance. We are getting it for a steal compared to zmax and hopefully we will start getting big numbers at BMS.

yea, dont look at this site as a "drop" in quality. When I last ran there... the surface was much smoother than the other lot . and speeds were very easily maintained thru out the course.

I bet when its over... you all may be wishing we ran there more! :)

Is the drag strip lot course area kart safe? I like the sound of smooth and grippy.

How wide is that lot? Might be tricky getting more than one car on course depending how wide it is.

No problem as we may be able to get 4 cars on course depending on how long the course is.

Bob, you aren't thinking of the correct lot. This is a lot we have tried to get in the past but couldn't because the drag racers were using it.

Nothing was/is wrong with the one we use except this event that lot we use will have a bunch of round track cars/haulers and crew vehicles all over that lot and no room for us on it for the may 13th event.
