I wouldn't be mad if they had it in BG but I can't believe they just up and shut that place down.

Couple hours to get to is somewhat mythic. It's 200 miles to Nashville and then about another 60 to Bowling Green.

Doesn't Bowling Green already have 1 event in the spring on the NMCA schedule?

IDK, they don't have the 2010 schedule posted. Whatever you do, don't make criticism toward the ownership. I was there Saturday for the "fun day racing" and it was way overloaded with motorcycles. I complained via e-mail that I thought the motorcycles were different enough to warrant their own day. The owner basically told me to suck a dick, lol.

Yes Bowling Green has an NMCA event, it's usually at the beginning of May. Obviously I would love for the event to be here though, Beech Bend is 10 minutes from my house.

Like your thinking ls1pwrdss, the old Red River Raceway is now Thunder Road Raceway Park and they sure could use a big event for 2010. The new owners did not get the track up and going til late in the year.
