New starter shack and some bleacher sections. The weather being what it was this winter has pushed that all back, so there are some piles of materials in a couple spots.

Thanks Chuck, Whats the swap meet like, being a nice week-end, might take a ride out.

PRP has done the swap meet before, not for a couple years now, but it started at the same time as test n tune. So attention got split. That said, I still think those went pretty good. I laid stuff out and sold some. This is the first time it's being held well in advance of the race day start. The cool thing is, no spectator fee until 9am. I'll see if there are any numbers yet, for vendor spaces, etc.

Frank the swap meet has used and new parts for sale and some other junk!

Mark and Chuck, If you had to pick one or two races being held at PRP that would be the best races to attend, which ones would they be? I would like to take a trip to the track this year and would like to make sure that I attend one of the better races. Not that other races would not be fun, but which are the most fun.

Jim, we have a blast at all the races at PRP. However, if I had to choose which are most fun from a racer standpoint, I would have to go with any of them that are multi-day. I would really consider our holiday weekends, the Memorial day races should be AWESOME, and the payout is really good. 4 days of racing and never have to get into the tow vehicle once you arrive. Also, the Ghosts, Goblins and Gearheads race is ALWAYS a good time, late season winding up the year with cookouts, bonfires, halloween stuff and of course 3 days of GREAT racing. I hope you make it out this year. I'm sure I'll see you in the lanes!!

Just to let you in the payout its $2500 $5000 $2500. Sat, Sun, Mon. Entry is $250 for the weekend. With the 3 day entry you get into a free race $1000 to win race on Friday night. There will be two separate classes Box and NB. The payouts will be separate for each class.

Guess I should have mentioned that.

Been there for the 3G race before and had a blast. I am sure I will make it over during one or more of those events. Thanks.

Mark got 'em all. The GGG race is my personal favorite, just a really good time.

For all of the races listed, single day entries are available also.

Hey Ford owners, rumor is that QCR has announced that all Ford Race Car owners will get into the track for half the admission price. The staff at QCR announced today (4-1-2010) that this policy will be in place during the season. The reason behind this announcement is that Ford owners (like Yuk) only last half as long during competition rounds as their counterparts that drive Dodge or Chevys. The staff feels that since it is unlikely that any ford will finish in the finals, they felt it would go a long way toward helping out the racer if they would just reduce the cost at the gate. This reduction in gate fees should help the owners of such cars to buy the assortment of spare parts needed by ford owners versus their counterparts.

Someone mentioned that the ford owners might be able to cash in on the round money, but the general consensus is that most fords do not make it past the first round and other than Friday nights, that pays nothing.The staff wanted to show their appreciation to the ford guys for virtually eliminating cleanups at the track after the first or second round and only Dodge and Chevy guys are left.

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY EVERYONE. Racing is right around the corner.

Guys, another post on alternative ways to PRP from out QC way. For the next 4 years there will be a bridge being replaced on Rt. 356 crossing the Allegeny River at Freeport. The bridge will remain open at all times, but it might be down to one lane all the time in both directions. I looked at the map and thought possibly you guys could get off at the Cranberry interchange and come across country, but there just as many traffic signals along Rt. 228 as there are along Rt. 22 from the turnpike exit to the track, plus between all the hills and traffic, I still say Turnpike to Rt. 22 to the track is the ticket.

Culp, You got 1/2 the story correct. The real reason is to bring more FORDS to the track because the Fans love to watch The Blue Ovals!! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS to you too!......Fool!!

Shawn, you think that stretch is bad now? I remember back in the mid 80's up until a few years ago, there were times that if I'd had a gun in my truck, I would have blown my head off. Rt.22 is like driving in heaven now compared to what it used to be like.

jim, why oh why do you continue to act like a fool? while your playing on here i am finding even more horsepower from mean-green. my blue oval army knows what real power is. i mean your car is painted blue. that tells me you wish you had a ford, and your new tow vehicle is a dodge. where is yours and supermans loyalty now? join the dark side, it is your only hope."POISON POWER TO THE DEATH"!!!!!!!!!!!
