I just got off the phone with the track operator. The track has all of it's timing equipment fixed and running well. They are getting a decent number of test and tune folks out there on Sunday afternoons (1:00PM-6:00PM). He has had a couple of events, including a Harley Davidson owners meet. The track operator's father is currently in the hospital, so he doesn't want to commit to a lot right this minute, but more positive changes are coming.

There are not any bracket races scheduled yet...but they are on the way!

Wayne County Dragstrip has now added a website, as well as a Facebook page. The address is:

I made the trip down there today, just to see how things are going. They have a pretty fair turnout for their test and tune session. It really wasn't a bracket racing crowd, though. I did manage to find one person and show them how it works by putting dial-ins on our cars and just going for it. I may have created a convert. Take care. Tom Worthington

Maybe the bracket races are coming back sooner than later?

Huge turnout for this first bracket race in 10+ years at Wayne County. In fact, I would go so far as to say they have never had this kind of turnout for a bracket race, in their entire history.

Eric Aman pulled off a win in both the Modified eliminator and the Street eliminator! He was also driving the same car in both eliminators.

Since there was such a big turnout, I think more bracket races may be coming to Wayne County in the future. Take care. Tom Worthington

Clee Guin's. You might recognize it. He usually does not have those Cragar wheels on the back.



They really took the whole street legal business thing seriously. They checked for DOT info on the tires and even matched tags with registrations and then registrations with VINs! Take care. Tom Worthington

Wow. I have got say, Wayne County went way above and beyond to get the race done last night (and into the wee hours of the morning). Huge downpour, just as the first timeruns were about to get underway. Not a short one, either. Over half an hour long. I don't know many places that would have even bothered to wait for the rains to stop to call that one. Once the rains stopped, there were basically lakes everywhere. But Eddie Radford would not give up. He and his crew worked and worked. And about 4 hours later, the cars were called to the line! First timerun was at 10:00PM.

Here is your winner's circle picture. I lost in only the second round and that was just after midnight!
