January 26, 2016 (Alvord, Texas) – Oakhill Raceway is taking one giant leap for Round 3 of the FMF Texas Winter Series and it all begins with the starting gates. Gone is the concrete and welcome to a new dirt start that is sure to shack up the advantage for anyone who frequents the cement.
Early registration is open until 11pm tonight (Tuesday), January 26th. If you miss out now, registration will open at the track on Friday, January 29th from 5-7pm. To add to the warm-up GNC Final weekend, Oakhill is offering practice on Friday. For more details, check the weekend schedule below. Gates open Thursday from 4-10pm.
What can you expect this weekend at Oakhill? “We are getting ready with some new and exciting changes” said Jeff Oldenburg (Track Owner of Oakhill Raceway). “We enjoy having everyone come to the ‘Hill’ for the Winter Series.
