Copied and reposted, I don't have anything to do with the strip. It's was owned by Bill Heilcher who owned Green Valley Raceway when it was shut down under similar circumstances. "Cindi" is his daughter. ** TEXAS RACEWAY UPDATE ** "We had planned to race in 2017 but due to circumstances beyond our control it’s no longer an option. We are saddened by this situati...on but as I was reminded recently “Sometimes life isn’t fair”. As a result, Texas Raceway will not reopen for drag racing. We want to thank you the racers, fans, our race crew and staff for their support all these years. It’s been a wonderful 15 seasons. We want to thank Gaylen Smith and Shan Morgan for their time and their dedication they bring to this sport. These folks have always supported the racers. We hope you will continue to support Texas Outlaw Pro Mod’s and the Redemption No Prep Series. We also want to thank our sponsors who have supported us. Painless Performance Products has been a very good friend to the track and continues to support racers and hot rod enthusiasts. Reher - Morrison has always backed the track and racers. Smith Motorsport, Brink Racecraft and RockAuto.com have been great supporters. Tom Carrell; Crowley Service Center has been sponsoring the street program for years and to all those that have helped the track in so many ways; thank you." As my dad once said; “May you lights always be green, your motor never blow up and your win light always on.” Happy trails Cindi & Dave Texas Raceway 1961 - 2017
Sorry for our loss, Maybe get or make a list with all you racers phone, email and home addresses so having a reunion later will be much easier...
I always hate to hear this type of news of another drag strip closing. If old drag strips could talk what stories they would have to tell us. One positive thing to think about is you always have all the wonderful memories of the people and drag cars to keep forever. Wishing you the best Jimbo
