WOW... What an incredible day at HickenPower Drag Strip!
We want to send a huge THANK YOU to every driver, spectator, family member, friend, and supporter who came out to our very first Burnout Day. The turnout exceeded our expectations, but what meant even more to us were all of the positive comments, encouraging words, and support we received throughout the day.
Seeing everyone having fun, smiling, and enjoying the facility reminds us exactly why we're working so hard to build something special here in Callahan. We are truly grateful for every person who came through our gates and helped make this event such a success.
A special thank you goes out to our amazing staff. When the concession stand got absolutely packed, they stepped up and handled the rush with professionalism, patience, and a positive attitude. From admissions and concessions to staging and everyone working behind the scenes, your hard work did not go unnoticed. We couldn't do this without you.
David and I are incredibly thankful for the support this community has shown us as we continue building HickenPower Drag Strip and growing Callahan Speedway.
This is just the beginning!
Stay tuned because we're already planning another Burnout Day for the weekend of June 20th, and we can't wait to see everyone back at the track.
Thank you all for believing in us and being part of this journey.

These pictures probably wonβt justify how long this new pond is but, it is a good length of the Strip. They will shape it a little more and lay sod next week! I will take better pictures next week when the sod is layed.
