Well guy's , Things are not looking good for Hendry County Speedway.

Looks like the racing days are done for a wile or intill they figure out what will happen to the track. So its goodbye to the flat trackin for now. I would like to say that it has been so much fun there and I would not change it for the world. Sure will miss it. CYA for now.....#18

The new track owner welcomed us out for the meet and greet race and to let us know what the new plans for the dirt trac will be. Looks like it will be high banks and wider back strech and a full 3/8's mile. I think it will be 2 fast and 2 big for a quad class.

David,

He didnt say for sure. They are reworking the size of the track and putting more banking in. They should be done with it some time in November or December. I will keep you informed. Lots of people think we are crazy for racing the way it was and now it will just be faster. Like 6th gear wfo.

I looked at the pic of the track on their website...it's real big. Those straits are real long so yeah I can see being in 6th gear alot. My initial thought is I'd be running some real tall gears so the motor would keep pulling. I don't think the speed scares me so much (unless I crashed) since we are already hitting near 60mph at Dade City. Keep posting any new news.
This may be a stupid question but what is wfo? :K

wfo = WIDE FU*KING OPEN

The only way smoke knows how to ride...

badcompanyracing · September 14, 2005, 10:09:36 PM

yea but smoke most people run fast when they're wide open

Well for all that was a part of the FT at Hendry this is gone but not forgoten. I still like to go back and read this thread and remember the great times we had .
The new owner has told me that Quads will not be welcome for racing on the new track. It was fun wile it lasted.

That's O.K. Matt,

I have only raced a 3/8 mile sized track twice. (Greenville,S.C. and Swainsboro,Ga) Those tracks SUCK anyways. You are haulling WAY too much butt and people die when things go wrong (Chad Snipes Killed Jun 20, 1999). This was the reason I retired until March 18th of this year. It upset me so bad I couldn't race anymore.
