By Todd on March 6, 2010

can i buy tickets on line for the 27th or must i buy them at the gate? I am not seeing a link for the 27th show?

By racingqueen on March 9, 2010

Will an IHRA or NHRA license be required to run 9.99? I’m looking for about a 9.80-1.10 pass, but since there’s no sanctioned 1/4 mile tracks anywhere close my NHRA license has expired about 2 years ago. As far as the car goes it’s legal to 8.50’s.

By LSCamaro on March 11, 2010

What time are the gates going to open on March 26th?? Are regular admission tickets different from Pit Crew tickets?

By Chevy Nova Girl on March 13, 2010

which one of yall have seen a 1972 240Z THAT IS MY DADS

By JR on March 14, 2010

Is so excited.. Can’t wait to see my Uncle Race :D

By LG2009 on March 16, 2010

Why did you change the number of crew on the starting line from four to two? Originally, you said that arm bands were $15 per crew member up to a total of 4….most of us have already picked our 4 crew members, now the change???

By Todd on March 16, 2010

can motorcycles park on pit side ?

where can we park ?

By skipper on March 17, 2010

Todd I’ve worked several PINKS events especially the staging area and it gets really crazy and crowded, there really is no reason to need 4 guys at the starting line if you have to tow your car up I’d be more concerned about you tow vehicle having access at the end of the run to get your car!!!
Also those of you with Lexan be sure to bring your own number marker for the windows and to stop them before they use theirs that will etch the glass.

By TrackTech on March 18, 2010

My husband going to get to race in pinks all out. So I am asking I get a pass to go to the pit some time so iI could talk to him.I know there be two arm braclets go with him that weekend.Do not want to seat on the other side all day, would like to talk to him some part of the day.

By msmustangwife on March 20, 2010

You do not have to sit on the spectater side. When you buy your ticket, you can be there with him in the pits. The 2 arm bands that they are talking about is to go to the staging lanes.

By Denni on March 21, 2010

All I know is we bette not here crap about antifreeze this year!!!

By Camaro68 on March 21, 2010

yea, it looks like we’re going to need it. It’s supposed to be nice the rest of the week. I sure hope so cause i’ve made some changes and hope to get to test before next weekend.

By Denni on March 21, 2010

With the water issues at the top end what are the chances that this will turn into an 1/8 mile race? Has the track done anything to cure this issue? I’m sure we all want 1/4 (at least I do) but what is being done to ensure that we get a good race and everyone is safe?? It’s obvious we cant count on mother nature!

By Racer on March 21, 2010

^^^

Same here. I’d take the 1/8th over a wrecked car ANY DAY. I’ve also heard about this water thing and the track.

By LSCamaro on March 21, 2010

If i am bringing a camper and racing can we enter the track at the same time or will we have to wait till 12 friday to bring the camper in.

By wade on March 21, 2010

The top of the track is good when there is a good crew to work on it. They ran a 2 day 1/4 event last weekend and the track was awesome.

By Camaro68 on March 22, 2010

so on friday i,m not racing,but i be riding to the track with my husband,can i get in with him? or do i need to drive myself at noon? please let know so i can get me a ride or drive.

By msmustangwife on March 22, 2010

how mucha re the tickets

By felicia on March 22, 2010

it aint free?

By ping2low on March 22, 2010

Its almost party time in dallas!!

By Phoenix on March 22, 2010

Does anyone know if they sell race gas at the track/

By Assassinz28 on March 22, 2010

When we come in on Thursday and prestage, can we unhook a tow vehicle from the trailer to get to our motel room? How do we get back in to hook back up Friday morning? I need to know how this all works. I can’t be stuck in line at the track all day Thursday and Thursday nite, with motel room resevations!

By peace454ss on March 23, 2010

great question Peace454ss…We will need to leave our trailer at the track and check in to our hotel as well.

By Todd on March 23, 2010

can i race in it

By 1972 chevelle on March 23, 2010

i need ticket to race ill pay

By chevelle on March 23, 2010

I am racing Sat but can people buy tickets at the gate on saturday?

By Mustang_hottie on March 23, 2010

I was at the pinks race at Ennis last year with a friend of mine.In fact he made the show an had a great time.I am here to warn you people this is not Ennis. This is that tiny ass over hype dragstrip that only hold 250 cars at the most.Plus Kenny Barnes is going to try to rob you of every last penny you got trust me,by this time next year it will be like the old Dallas International Dragstrip just a memorie.

By concretelonghorn on March 23, 2010

I hope your wrong….. Sounds like someone pee’d in your cheerios. Better luck next time…..

I do agree they dont run the track to potential but give’em a chance. They will shut down or get better, we all knoe the potential is there.

By Hope not on March 23, 2010

i just want to know if hell yeah is going to run

By rollen on March 23, 2010

I have raced at a number of PAO events and also throughout the country for NHRA and IHRA.  At this track, water comes up past the 1/8th-mile and the rundown is way too slick, so be careful.  All other tracks I ran PAO at, they had plenty of parking and were well managed before / during / after the race.

There is NO way that this race should have been sold for over the 400 original entries.  That was a stretch, by far for this size of facility, and now, with who-knows-how-many racers???  I’m afraid tons of us racers are going to be parked in the mud and / or offsite.  Same for spectators.

Latest rumor is that we are going to have to drop our car/trailers off and leave tow vehicles offsite.  If that’s the case, see how happy people are going to be!  I sure as hell hope that is just an ugly rumor, but—-

Look at the pictures posted of Dallas Raceway’s events and see where you think 400-600 trucks / trailers / racecars are going to go on pavement.  Some may take these comments as negative, but they are only meant to be a reality check for us and Dallas Raceway.  Especially us locals who want this track to thrive, however, to do so, events like this had better go off well.

Without extra paved pitting and good spectator parking, events like this won’t go over well nor supported.  Sorry for the rant, but, numerous emails and phonecalls to the track have gone unanswered trying to find out specifics for our pitting and parking.

By HopeNot2 on March 23, 2010

Dropping off our trailers is not going to happen…most of us carry tools, fuel, battery chargers, nitrous, spare parts, etc. Do they expect us to just dump that stuff out on the ground? I don’t think so. My trailer also acts a safe storage for my car. I’m not leaving my car out in the open all night for someone to help themselves to. According to an email from Brian Bassone, we will be given a 20’x60’ space per racer for car and trailer. This is standard for almost all race tracks. I don’t believe that rumor…No one can be expected to abandon your trailer offsite. 

By Todd on March 24, 2010

What time does everything start on Saturday?

By Race Girl on March 24, 2010

Those are some scary posts,i gues if the parking space is 20x60 we could unhook the toter home and put it next to the trailer and the car behind that.This will be my first PAO I hope it goes well.

By Phoenx on March 24, 2010

Hey guys ill be parking tomarrow, it is true that we are using 60’x20’ parking, alot of that has to do with the rain, we want to try and get all the racers on the concrete, we have a few limited spots for the big 75’ to 90’ rigs that might come in, they still get 20’ wide space.  We ask that you work with us, as we try and get everyone in a concrete spot, also if you are in an open trailer, we are going to have you pit behind your trailer, usually what ill do is have you pull the rear of the trailer to the front of your parking spot and unhook, take the racecar off the trailer, park your tow truck in the middle and then put the racecar at the back of the pit spot. may have to do some moving around friday morning when you get in.  This will eliminate anyone having to go hunt for a place to try and park there pit vehicle.  We will do our best to work with all of you, and it will be absolute last resort before we put anyone in the grass.  We just ask that you understand that the concrete is limited and its going to be a tight fit.

By drw/pao TJ on March 24, 2010

drw/pao TJ…thanks VERY much for the clarification and to help stop the rumors on parking.

Question:  Where are the tow rigs going to line up before the 12pm Thursday gate opening?

By HopeNot2 on March 24, 2010

ok guys for those of you that show up tonight and in the morning, sammy with drw will be there to stack you in the spectator side parking lots until i get there in the morning, then we will send the first set of guys over and just continue all day from there until we get you guys in. Just be patent with us fellows we will get you in as quick as we possibly can, any other questions feel free to ask, thanks again guys, and hope to see you tomarrow.

By drw/pao TJ on March 24, 2010

I will be coming in a 90’ rig and will be there tomorrow afternoon and i hope you will have a spot left for me when I get there.

By Phoenix on March 24, 2010

Where does this make since?!?  “We ask that you work with us, as we try and get everyone in a concrete spot, also if you are in an open trailer, we are going to have you pit behind your trailer, usually what ill do is have you pull the rear of the trailer to the front of your parking spot and unhook, take the racecar off the trailer, park your tow truck in the middle and then put the racecar at the back of the pit spot.” That’s the same as leaving the truck hooked up to the trailer! The car/truck/trailer will still be 3 deep! One day, maybe there will be some sort of order with PAO! It always changes at the last minute! Good luck! I will be there if there is enough room!

By mod31 on March 24, 2010

How much for kids tickets and what time will it all start Saturday?

By mod31 on March 24, 2010

Mod31, i simply was talking on an overnight basis, if you are leaving an open trailer there this will be the best method to use based on what i have done in the past, if you are leaving each night you can do it however you wish, like i said we will try and work with you the best we can.  the reasoning behind the open trailer scenario is because we are going to put two open trailers side by side in a 60’ x 20’ spot, and have them pit off the back of there trailers to use the concrete parking as effective as possible. Box trailers will have to pit off the side like normal, there just to bulky and long to stack right next to each other and pit out of the back.

By drw/pao TJ on March 24, 2010

Also Mod31 each pinks all out is diffrent when it comes to parking and tech because each racetrack does it there own way, pinks doesnt bring anyone in to have the parking situation taken care of.  Its the tracks responsibility to handle the parking and tech issues.  As for this track this time we are concentrating on getting all the racers on dry land incase of a serious down poor. Id deffently like to help you in anyway possible, if you have any other questions.

By drw/pao TJ on March 24, 2010

As for spectators, since there is such a parking issue, can i park at the circle track and ride a pit bike to and in the track?

By Blown on March 24, 2010

Myine & a friends pit crew’s are flying in tomorrow from out of state.. Should be there by 4pm… I need to be sure they will be able to enter the track tomorrow at some point.

By Racer on March 24, 2010

Trust me guys they will try as hard as they can to get us on concrete. We ran the bracket finals there with 400+ cars and it rained. They tried there hardest to get people on concrete. The only problem is Dallas Raceway is so unorganised its not funny. This will def. be an adventure.

By Camaro68 on March 24, 2010

I wish everyone a safe and good time! I will not be there. This is not going to be the same PAO we know and love! Good luck to all the Racers!!!

By sorry guys on March 24, 2010

drw, got it! Thanks!

By mod31 on March 24, 2010

drw, I hear ya on the parking! Was a little confused but understand now! There is other issues that I was talking about as far as the “some sort of order” comment but that’s neither here nor there! Good luck and see ya Saturday!

By mod31 on March 24, 2010

I have 3 Reserved Grandstand tickets for sale if anyone needs them for Saturday

By swimmer on March 24, 2010

DROVE IN THIS MORNING; NO ONE AROUND; SHOULD GET HERE QUICKLY TO GET PARKED ON PAVEMENT/CONCRETE - AREA IS FLOODED!
HOPE THIS GOES WELL…..ANYONE ELSE ?

By LAracer on March 25, 2010

AGAIN ON BRING A PIT BIKE? Its not to ride around in the facility as it is not that big but just to get there from parking way down the street.

By Blown on March 25, 2010

I was told tonight they have rented school buses to transport spectators from schools in kaufman and crandell where they intend to have over flow parking they have also rented a few areas around the track to park including the dirt track and will have shuttle service.

By racer x on March 25, 2010

C’mon sunshine!! dry it up!!  I cant afford to pay the food prices at DRW, bringing 5 kids. Had a plan of walking to truck and having sandwiches, snacks etc. now I dont know what im going to do. c’mon SUNSHINE!!

By Jason G. on March 26, 2010

Just got off the phone with the track and they said all the racers took all the parking… Not gonna have any spectator parking on site.. Way to Go Dallas Raceway! Living up to all expectations! Thanks for planning ahead!

I wish I hadn’t bought tickets online.  Had I known the parking situation we would not be going.

By regret on March 26, 2010

hey all spectators i am here at the track, they have a pretty big parking lot right up the road from the track if it is full the circle track is right up the road from that these two places will hold alot of cars so if you get here early enough saturday morning there should be plenty of parking in walking distance.

By moose on March 26, 2010

This is the most wack race event ever no food or drink, no alcohol, no coolers, no nothing the parking at the high schools, In my opinon dont hold an event at a place that cant hold that many people. wack, wack ,wack

By Mike on March 27, 2010

I’m here now and it’s not bad folks I was able to get parking walking distance about 400 ft away on line now waiting for gate to open for spectators it’s 7:35am and there is allot of parking left , this ain’t wack at all!

By Heavychevy on March 27, 2010

we love to pinks all out!!! but please put it back at texas motorplex….it was to small for for that kink of race the lots fans come out to.plus we would like to ask to go to old school and do a all 1/8 miles pinks all outs….

By msmustangwife on March 27, 2010

what a cluster-f@#&$!!!
next time go back to ennis

By burned on March 27, 2010

Hey!  I try to warn you about this crap.Who`s getting thier cheerios pee`d on now.Everyone I know that has raced there has something bad to say about the place.May be next year they will hold it at Yellow Belly,I better not say anything,at least they know how to run a big race.they do it every weeking. 

By concretelonghorn on March 28, 2010

It was not too bad there was some quick cars today, but parking could have been better, need a bigger track to host this kind of race, and as far as 1/8th mile goes, na they need to keep at 1/4 if it’s a 1/4 track, yes those 7 sec cars i can understand only wanting to run 1/8th they were all over the track after passing the stands, at least they did pick a high 9 class though better than 11s 8 or 9 always makes a good race, all in all not too bad seen worse and better…..

By J on March 28, 2010

this race track is the biggest joke. when we got too the track saturday morning they told me to go park in a grass lot a little down the road so we did then hours later they anounce that peoples cars were being towed from the same spot the idoits told me to park at. So my car was towed, i had to pay over $200.00 and drive 16 miles to go get my car back and the track told us it was are problem and didnt do anything to help out. Pinks is awesome but me and everone i know will never visit this track again!!!!!! It sucks!

By pissed off on March 28, 2010

had a great time kenny and rich did a great job this was the first real big race here kenny has some bugs to work out give him a break the track was working no water on top end i will be back next week great job men

By 280 bluz on March 28, 2010

I raced, it was a blast!! Was in the 11.0 field that was almost picked. I realize there was some issues for the fans, but from a racer standpoint, you guys did greast!!  See you next Fun & Grudge.

By Red Z06 on March 28, 2010

Dallas Raceway is great for a fun and grudge, but saturday night showed you can’t hold something major there. THe track and the town can’t handle more than 3000 people at that hell hole…what a joke.

By paul on March 28, 2010

Parking? What Parking?  We were waved on by one of their genius parking attendance, parked parallel on the service road (there were no signs that indicated no parking anywhere!)We were inside gate about an hour when we saw a CONVOY of tow trucks! No announcement, no nothing! By the time we got to the area where our truck USED to be, it was GONE…towed to a place 30 miles away!! The Crandell Police and Kaufman County Sheriff dept. were “Lovely.” Talk about Hazard County. This is a racket! We raised so much H*ll that the track gave us a refund on the tickets. But the tow bill was $150.00. After everyone’s ride was towed THEN they put up barricades.  I acutually heard one track official say, ” Der,this is a good idea, who thought of this”? When the cops don’t care enough about their community to take advantage of an event this size that draws in revenue theres a problem, trust me, stay away from there! Ennis, we love you! This place won’t last long, pretty soon there will be a Wal-Mart there!

By NeverAgain on March 28, 2010

well if you missed over some people running thier mouth bout the parking an so worth yall missed hell of good show

By rollen on March 28, 2010

It was a lot of fun I really enjoyed it, already looking forward to the one in Houston!

By LSCamaro on March 28, 2010
