It used to be real narrow, that is a old pic, it was like racing down a sidewalk.
Now it's as wide as any NHRA track, just like MMP is - or was.....
Dam shame they shut Memphis Motrosports park down.
No more NHRA events or Midsouth nationals.
No more NMCA world street car finals.
No more ADRL events.
No more arm drops or PINKS all outs.
No more test and tunes.
No more saturday night bracket racing.
No more alot other things that pumped thousands of dollars in our struggling community.
I used to race at MMP regularly till the raised entry fees sky high and reduced their weekly bracket events to about once a month, if that.
That said I don't race at H/S either, I choose to support a small mom and pop run facility, Byhalia raceway.
I personally dont have anything agaisnt George Howard or the way he sucked MMP and Byhalia racers away.
What Bebop, Jabo and now George Howard have done with Holly Springs is a prime example of how a facility can and should be run.
Listening to the racers concerns and treating them with respect is the 'key' elements there.
Only changes I disliked at H/S was the elimination of the footbrake class ( no box is NOT footbraking) and the ever growing Pro class.
I find no entertainment in watching 70 plus dragsters run down the track.
The downtime between rounds is unbearable.
It's a sad day for race fans and racers alike in Memphis area.
