George Ray built his heads-up only dragstrip, in Paragould, Ar. Opened in November of 1961, the all-concrete track was originally a quarter-miler, then a 1000 footer and presently runs 1/8th mile only. The shutdown area is 1500 feet. Racing starts the first Sunday in March and continues thru the third Sunday in October. 2003 wil be the start of the 43rd season of racing. The first season, albeit short, was Nov/Dec of 1961. We race trophy classes and money classes. There IS NO ENTRY FEE to race. You pay to watch the races and get to race for free. George has been featured on ESPN2's INSIDE DRAG RACING, DRAG NEWS, Jan. 2001 issue of Hot Rod magazine and in 2002, TNN's HORSEPOWER TV. The response each time a show was aired has been incredible. If you would like to talk to George, his phone number is 870-236-8247 and he's usually up during the daylight hours. |
