Tulsa
Raceway Park Under New Ownership
Tulsa
Raceway Park, L.L.C. proudly announces the purchase of Tulsa International
Raceway on December 22, 2003. Built in the mid sixties, Tulsa International
Raceway had been host to several national events.
Tulsa Raceway
Park manager, Dan Guterman, is looking forward to completing many
track improvements that will allow for the hosting of IHRA national
events again. Among the immediate improvements: extending concrete
to 660" feet, 4,000 new grandstand seats, an 8,000 square foot
timing tower to house concessions, a souvenir shop, restrooms, a
press room and suites, and ten additional acres of paddock. Also
on the horizon for completion in September, 2004 is a 2.3 mile road
course with a full slate of regional, club and national races planned
for 2005.
"The staff
of Tulsa Raceway Park and I are very excited to be a part of the
IHRA community and racing in Tulsa," said Guterman. "We
anticipate completion of all drag strip improvements by May and
will host an IHRA divisional race on July 16 - 18, 2004 which will
showcase our facility. I am fortunate to have an experienced staff
of track personnel which will allow us to operate smoothly during
our construction phase. If you haven't raced in Tulsa in a while,
be sure and join us this spring. You'll like what you see,"
added Guterman.
