Texas Motorplex at Ennis, TX
Our good bicycling friend,
We had been to drag races about 30 some years ago north of Denver, CO
at Bandimere
Speedway and they were fun, but at Dallas we got to go into the pits to
see all the behind the scene happenings of hearing the cars running as
they were working on the motors.
It started raining on us Thursday night and rained all night and into
Friday all day. We decided to go to the track for our tickets and
parking pass from the Pro Tire / Mickey Thompson dealer.
I am so glad we did, as there was almost no one there, so it was
easy to get around. We left for the motel to freshen up for dinner, and
dancing at Billy Bob’s.
We arrived at the Ennis track on Saturday morning.
The sun was out and it was going to be a sunny day with highs in
the 80’s. There was a line

You could hear the Top Fuel Dragsters running by the noise.
We stood at the finish line for a while taking pictures.
At this point we had to look quick, as the cars are going by at
We saw Top fuel cars, Funny cars, Pro Stock cars and motorcycles.
We stayed until mid afternoon and
then went back to Ft. Worth.
We found the winery in Grapevine we were at a year ago and bought some
wine, then went to dinner at a new place in downtown Grapevine.
The next morning there was no clouds for the drive home.
It was a very interesting and fun
weekend.
