Super Pro pays $1500 to win, 700 to runner up, $250 semi's and $75 for quarters with a $65 entry. If the car counts surpass 64 cars in a class they will increase the pay outs to the eight's which did happen a few times last year. The payouts are guarranteed no matter what the car count is. Of course being only 15 miles from the house dose'nt hurt either.
North Star Dragway

How'd that happen? I don't race or even go to the drags much, but my brothers and nephews do, big time. I live in Ft. Worth and never heard of this place until reading your post. I'll have to go check it out because Kennedale can be boring and Texas Motorplex sucks for reasons I don't want to go into here and now. You say a great program for the second year in a row, is it only 2 years old?

This is the second year since the new owners took over. Under the previous ownership I would drive 90 miles anywhere else to race but not race at a track 15 miles from my house. It was that bad. The new folks are really interested in making the facility the best there is around. Heck this track even has their own ambulance and fire truck. They can park 130 rigs in the pits on asphalt. Pretty large pits for an 1/8 mile track. Btw the track has been around since the late 80's if I recall correctly. Use toe be called Denton Dragway buth the new owners changed the name.
