Hey Rob, I thought you might recognize Ozark Int. Raceway in that video. I guess that's you home track?

It's our closest 1/4 track...but it's still 140 miles away! I *usually* go to Memphis which is just a tick further, but we usually still get over to OIR a few times each year. The track did indeed sell, and some folks were saying they were gonna put some money into it, but it's gotten to the point where they need to put some *serious* money into it...the track surface is sketchy, and anything passed the timers is an adventure [my favorite is the big bump to the left!]...and the pits SUCK. A couple owners ago [sad that it keeps changing hands] they had a chance to fix the pits, as a local farmer dropped off his dozer and told the new owner to clear the trees & fix the gulley and do the pits right once and for all [was even gonna provide fuel!] and the guy wouldn't do it...!
I'm not exactly sure "why" they bought it, though, 'cause rumor is the Lucas family is looking to build a top shelf drag strip to go with their circle track on their farm in Centerville [just north of Springfield]?
