Basically Joe says he will allow any class of vehicle as long as there are no spiked (off-road) tires or anything that will damage the carpet. I hear there will be some Modified Late Models running this Saturday.

Yes, I will be selling pit spots this Saturday. The pit spots will be $75.00 for a calendar year. I have 10 8' long tables with a strip of tape to split the table in half so there will be 20 pit spots and there are some other places where one could put a table if need be.

Sorry about not answering the questions, but I have been busy getting some last minute details finished at the race track.

OH I almost forgot, when you come to the track you will need to bring a chair, power cords and power strip but not a table if you intend to buy a pit spot.

We will be open for practice and registeration around 10AM but the racing action doesn't comence till 7PM.

Looking forward to having a good time this weekend!

I just finished painting a NASCR body for my 12th scale last night . We will run either type in the same class untill the outside on-road racing is finished. I think, I am going to run stock in the Late Model class unless I find some parts to hop up my ride.. TT-01's can run the on-road or vintage bodys if you want.

We will have some hot dogs, cheese natchos, candy and can soda for sale tomorrow Come early to get your pit location picked out and paid for so you will be able to have the same pit location for the whole year.

Lookin forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

If there are 3 18th scale 4wd Mod then we will run them, with that said I haven't seen too many of them around but if you have some friednds that are interested in running them, then bring them up. I know that there should be a good number of 18th 2wd scale stock and modified LM.

The Points series is still in its infancy. I am thinking of something like this week’s race and November 15th as tune up races where everyone gets use to turning left. Then the first four races will be averaged with the next four races to give you the starting position for the final two races of the season. There will be trophies given to the top three in each class for the championship series. We are chartering new territory here so we may be adding some other prizes, if things work out, to either the last race or maybe some trophies once a month. Like I said this is new territory.
Hope this helps,

I went by Smokin Joe's Raceway today. It is a real nice facility. There is going to be some awesome racing there this winter. It was nice to see Zack James there racing even though he is a "quitter". Also Jonesboro's own B main sponsored driver Colton. See everyone there tomorrow except Zack "the quitter" James.
