Man you guys got a nice track .
i was there in November for the drag race .
I agree they did a great job on this facility and a few years ago they improved it even more when they redesigned the garage area and made steeper banks in the turns. Now the stock cars are hitting speeds just a little north of 190mph.
Unfortuanely it put an end to IndyCar Series (IRL) racing here because they were hitting speeds near the 230mph mark and the cars were to unsteady on this track. I was at the race a couple of years ago when Dan Wheldon was killed on the 11th lap, it was a sad day at the track and for the sport. After that tragic event they canceled future IndyCar Series races at LVMS.
