Cherokee Racing has successful weekend at Red River Speedway 3/15/03

First of all we would like to thank the new Track owner Mike Cooper. We could not have asked for a better person to take control of Red River. If you have not been to Red River Speedway since he took over, you will not recognize the place. He and his crew are doing an awesome job at making the facilities better, and at promoting the races for us.

On friday night the track had an open practice, Cherokee Racing comprised the whole practice field and the All-Star truck series also practiced. The NBC affiliate brought their news crew out and video taped us in a mach race for some promotional footage on the news. Then on Saturday night the NBC crew was back out there and broadcast our heat race live on the 6:00pm news. This is going to be a great year in Texas for Legends racing and promotions like the crew at Red River are doing are going to make it bigger and better than ever.

Make sure you check out the pictures on the media page, there was a guy at the races named Diamond Dan, he brought his four wheeler with a jet engine on it. He says if he let it rip, he could reach 200mph in 400yrds. He let it rip a little on the front stretch and barely made it threw turns one and two. They say that he will be back during the grand opening in April, check back here for info on that.

Saturday nights race was rain shortened, the Legend ran a 10 lap main event and then the rest of the night was canceled. However, Cherokee did score a 1st place in Pro with Buddy Goudy, a 1st place in Semi-Pro with Randy Mile, 3rd place in Semi-Pro with Tommy Strader, a 2nd in Masters with Tim McDonald, and 3rd in Masters with Don Brown. Great weekend over all, see the media page for pictures from our weekend.
