Makes you wonder what happened to it...Quote:
This facility ran successfully for about 3 years before some awfully poor judgment forced the shut down just a few months ago.
Thankfully, with it's closing, the WB Race Team goes out as the 3 time champ of the Rotary Club of Dallas Governor's Cup!!!
Didn't make enough $$$ to justify it existence so it closed.Quote:

Of course, I say that and the thought of an overcrowded SCCA weekend pops into my head...
$20 was obviously more than the general public wanted to spend on +/- 8 minutes of racing.
Can I rent your car at the next AX for that rate? Thought as much. So tell me where I can get any kind of seat time on a track in someone else's car for that price. I know most of the public didn't see it, but I learned some valuable lessons about momentum racing and braking and car rotation there. Unlike AX, I had a dozen laps to try different ways of getting through the course and could actually compare how it felt to what the timer said (when it worked). I missed going this year and hate that it closed. OTOH, we saw the writing on the wall last fall.Quote:

Unfortunetly, most folks that went there were there not as enthusiasts... just folks that wanted to ride the "cute little go-karts". Damn shame that it's shut down. I liked the people there... they gave us the occasional discount or extra lap and we kept returning week after week... I know that we doubled or tripled the amount of return customers just with us dragging co-workers there and seducing them with the racing drug.
We had our Rotary Club race there for the last several years... I wonder where we're gonna race now.
