No More AutoX at LSP :(

Anyone ever check out the dimensions of the airstrip in Caddo Mills? Gas Monkey rented it out for the show recently (so it is available for a price), but I don't know if it is wide enough for much more than endless slalom. it is just a few blocks down the road from Dallas Karting Complex.

The runway is 150' wide at its widest point, a bit over 200' at the triangles. Not really enough for sweepers, but I'm sure you could piece together some interesting elements. It'd have to be out-and-back in order to run timers unless you have a really good wireless setup.

That street already has Dallas Karting Complex and Redline Raceway, and I believe they have a dirt track a few miles away. might as well add a AutoX site as well!

At 150 wide it’s going to be hard to get more than 1 car on course and keep good spacing between them and the edge of the pavement on a down and back course. Looks like we could run the most of the V, the top (or bottom) is too narrow for anything other than a straight.

The Drag strip is effectively closed at the moment. Got bought out by a huge douche bag and has been a train wreck of mismanagement since. :( Use to be my favorite strip to go to.


A dedicated autox pad somewhere would be nice, would really need someone with some $$$ to make it happen thou. Probably a driving school of some sort that would get some use out of it the rest of the week..

We have a dedicated autox pad: its called Mineral Wells Airpark.

3 hour round trip count me out unless it is a 2 day event and I get a hotel. Even then I haven't been in 6-7 years and the surface was terrible then, I know it hasn't improved. Would be nice to see a spot central or even East of DFW, I avoid going West of 360 whenever possible.

When I was young we would drive 15 hours each way up hill both ways in the snow. And we only got 3 runs on a 20 second course.
