......is now GALOT Motorsports park. The former Dunn-Benson dragstrip was auctioned last October. Big changes to the track such the first 300' of the track will be "climate-controlled". Also, a brand new tower. Look forward to it's opening tentatively scheduled for April.

Just you wait and see.... Trust me you won't race me when it's done.... Well at least not for any sort of wager.

Holy shit they are tearing it all down and rebuilding it... thats awesome.

3/16/2014 12:29:57 AM

^yeah, i look forward to going once it's done. i'm actually looking forward to taking my daughter out there as well as she hasn't been to a track yet. i think she'll enjoy it.

same here, I am sure mine will love it, even if its just because she has an excuse to wear the ear protection I bought her.

Kids are in free at ZMax 4 wides

3/19/2014 10:51:03 PM

OK well when I feel like hauling my kids that far that will matter. But Benson is less than an hour away, and kids don't know the difference in a regular dragstrip and zmax.

I used to drag race at Bristol a lot on the "run what you brung" Street Fights nights, and never realized how nice of a track it was until I went to a local 1/8th mile track here in the Knoxville area. What a difference lol Not that your kids will know, but the difference sorta cracked me up.

Is Dunn-Benson quarter or 1/8th mile?

1/8th, track was horrible. Maybe this remodel fixes it.

3/21/2014 3:02:48 PM

^track was fine. just had to adjust your driving style. i could pull a 1.8 60ft. on street tires at benson but never could duplicate at fayetteville.

3/21/2014 9:14:23 PM

if I could pull 1.8's.....

3/22/2014 7:17:33 PM

^that was with the nsx. not my truck.

3/23/2014 5:17:29 PM

^I bet it would be close!

3/23/2014 6:55:35 PM

Biggest problem with the track was having to drive through the water box.

3/23/2014 9:44:57 PM

well an nsx pulls off the line like an awd car so there's that
