Ultimate Deep South at ECM

[dirt crow]

Who’s going? Drivers and fans? First ever race for this series. I’ve never been to this track. Don’t know what to expect.

Been there 3-4 times. Always smooth and pretty good when I went.

***disclaimer*** the last time I was there was about a decade ago.

Yea wondering that myself is this race is still on!

No word of canceled on their Facebook page.

Late night. Dust. Bumpy road gettin there. In a corn field. Bleachers ain't very tall. Close to home. More than 4 classes, but maybe you'll enjoy it. I'm gonna.

I believe I’m throwing in the towel on this one. With a 3k MSCCS, 5k at Dixie, 10k at Smoky Mtn, I’m guessing 12-17 supers. Probably be a nice win for a local Saturday nighter. But I’ll keep researching who might be coming.

I been there once 7-8 years ago and at the time there was some hog or chicken barns up the hill from the track and to say the place stunk would be a understatement. The racing was good but the aroma of fresh s#*t while I'm trying to enjoy the races ain't my cup of tea.

Track management had a brother who was killed. Its Eric Cates Memorial speedway

I believe this is the track where the Hayes driver died in a wreck.

I knew the cates before they ever built the original arkadelphia speed way , we raced there several times back then and i dont remember no smell from no chicken houses or hogs , may be the wind was blowing the other way , it was a well prepared track then , but have not been in a while so dont know about now , hayes (#8) parked by us when he came to TST and we were suppose to have been at the race he got killed at but something came up and we did not go , i am not able to go to this race , but i would encourage any one that can to go , from what i understand , they are struggling to keep the track going and we dont need another track closing....JMO......

i sold eric and his dad parts for there old ford hog car before they ever built the race track , i hated to hear about eric , the cates are good people........

Fastford there may not have been no barns there when you was there or they may not been in operation but the time I was there they up the hill to the left of the road and cornfield going into the track. I'm sure Chris knows more about when and how long they was there than I do. Nice place and good racing that night just unpleasant being downwind at the time.
