Has anybody been to the amarillo drag way? I plan on heading that way on memorial weekend. Plus i think it's an ihra track, hopefully i can dip into the 10's that weekend. I moved battery to the rear and have a new lift off hood. Removed around 80 to 100 lbs off the truck and moved 30lbs or so from the front to the rear. Going to take off front shocks and get measurements so i can order some drag shocks from summit. Either lakewood or comp. engeenering.

I was there years ago (9-10), I used to live about a mile from there. Seemed like an old surface that was iffy? Nice to have a track so I don't want to bash it but the asphalt was rougher then, maybe a newer surface by now? Good luck!

Thanks, i was told that it has new owners, only reason heading out that way have family out there and they are asking me to bring my truck. The track is having an event with superchargers asso. Might be a good event plus test and tune. Gates open at 3. Haven't really heard anything about the shape of the track though.

Like I said it has been almost 10 years so it could be newer than when I was there. It is a small town type track and it was open only sporatically when I was there, so maybe the new owners are taking better care of it? I'd love to see some picts if you get over there, I litterally lived a stone's throw from it, so it was way cool to go there and run the wee out of my junk and not have to worry about the Po PO!! I lived right off the highway the track is on across from the feedstore, BTW stop in and ask my X-beatch how my house is doing!! J/k, unless you wanna make some $$$ J/k again, oh, I better stop! Enjoy, and picts??
