John,

You use the term "newly refurbished high banked 3/8 mile oval". What exactly has been refurbished? Thanks.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Portion of the Grandstands,wall and the track surface. We where told that over a mill was spent in upgrades.:22:

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Mud Packer,

The Grandstands are brand new aluminum bleachers with all new concrete steps and walkways. It will seat about 5000 people. There is a brand new concession stand and press box. It is looking great I was just over there looking things over for our ASCT AND AMCT Shows last week. More improvements will be coming in the future as well. Great job Billy Daniels!!

When will Billy Daniels have the new website up for Union County Speedway?

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

The new web site will be up and running in the next few days.:22:

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Do the bleachers still face the west?Pretty tuff to see sometimes till the sun goes down.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Awsome; sounds like Billy's doing a good job getting the track ready for the 2010 season.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

What does the "open rules" refer to? Tires? Blocks? Weight?

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

What about the reed bar sticking up along the track

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

September 10 ad 11 will be an "open" engine rule for those two days. There WILL be a Min Wieght rule for ALL alum block cars. We will announce a set min lbs in the next few days.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

How long has it been, since you've been there? The RE-BAR has been gone a long while. Bob

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

ever since usac or mscs pulled out of there because unsafe track...sorry i know its been a few years back

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Bob is right, its all gone. I give you guys credit for giving it a shot and will be in the stands to help support!

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

J.T.,

Thanks for the info. Have they put a catch fence up in 1 & 2 to keep the cars in the ballpark and not in the parking lot? The last show I was at, the wall isn't very high and they were parking car right up against the wall outside of 1 & 2.

Also, have they done anything with the lights? If not they are in need of some improved lighting.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

There is all new lighting that was just put in too!
Should be nice! Still no catch fence in 1&2 but there is nothing to hit but the ground if a car gets out of the park.:6:

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Again, thanks J.T. Good luck on this show and the rest of the events you have planned.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

If you are going to use this forum to advertise it is customary to buy an ad on the site John.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Mr. Hoover,
This is an open public forum, designed for racing news and events. The site admin has allowed posting of events along with track news and such. Forum "ad advertisers" rely on traffic that is driven to this site by such post. If it were the case that an "ad" be purchased to promote events, then this forum would be a virtual ghost town. Not only has the A.S.C.S. posted their events and updates, but most other sanction bodies & racing facilities have as well. Hope this helps you understand.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

BIG JIM I understand perfectly you are using this forum as free advertising and to a certian extent that is fine but when the posts are constantly bumped or multiple posts are at the top of the board at the same time then it starts to get a little old. Just my .02 but my guess is that the moderators of the board will soon begin to lose patience and your posts will no longer be able to be bumped....just my guess. I think you would find that is you have an ad on here that there is more leeway shown to these types of posts. Or maybe I should just shut up because this series will be lucky to last past the 1st few races anyway.:2:

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Mr Hoover,
Thank You once again for your input, it is duely noted. I for one have never bumped any post. Just as I am now " I am mearly replying to a comment ". Yes by doing so this keeps the post on top, but I feel we have the right to reply to post written within our open topic. Please feel free to send me your information via PM, I would enjoy sending you a pair of free tickets to the 2010 A.S.C.T. banquet.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Promoters pitching their races, drivers and owners pitching T-shirts, etc. etc. etc. is common place on here. Look at the threads and you'll see tons of posts where various entities are promoting their goods and tracks. To pick out one promoter and whine about it.... sounds like you've got an agenda.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

Doesn't that describe just about your entire posting history, here on IOW, Don?:5:

If you don't like my posts, don't read them. Real simple.

Re: Union County July 2cnd!!!
 

they did a good job with the lights and the stands. the track hasn't changed much since we raced there every friday back in 1984-85. it's still a narrow (as in groove) paperclip. there are stiil rocks in it so make sure yo guys use your screens. it still get's very slick and the bottom of the corners are flat (10-15'). there is still no catch fence in turns or back chute. i think what hurts the place is they've had such a bad rep for so long and people don't forget. good luck to everone and the new series.
