That's MRS. SLOWPOKE to you! "you just got beat by a girl!"I am new at drag racing. I had never been to a drag strip in my life until David took me to EMD on our first date in August 2007. I was automatically hooked and I knew someday I would be out there on that track. Here it is July 2008 and I've already won my first trophy! It was 2nd place, but it was a huge excitement to me! It was my 5th race. ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS!!!I would like to say that I've raced at every track around this area,(EMD, Knox, Bristol, 411 & Cherokee). I must say that EMD is the ONLY track that makes you fill welcome and at home with family and friends from day one. My family are die-hard racers, they were at the track EVERY time the gate opened. My children were raised at EMD and now ...3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Who let the dogs out !!!Those were the good old days at the track. Staging lanes were backed up into the bottleneck. Everybody was having fun,ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY! We would love to see that again. Bracket finals,no one needed anything.Because some part of the family was standing there waiting to hand it to them.Racers,fans,friends & family - AWSOME!!! We started ...3 of 3 Yahoo!

My Heart is at EMD also!!!I like the reviews I've read so far.Had to add mine to the list also. Hopefully someone will take notice. There were both good and bad times at EMD through the past 12 years or so, But by far, more good than bad. My heart is at the Mountain, always was and alwsys will be. As far as Cherokee, the only complaint from me is that you can't see down the track as a spectator. The Owner and operaters are great.3 of 3 Yahoo!

This is homeI have been a part of the "Mountain Family" for about 13 years. I love the track, the owner and the people who work and race there. We are a close knit racing family and will continue to race there if it stays open. I hope someone will buy the track and get it back to what it used to be. To all our former racers...We miss you and would love to have a Racin' Reunion in the near future.3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

somebody keep it alivethere is no other track laid out as good as this one for the racer and for the fan. I wish someone could buy it and keep it alive.Ive had so many good times there with my mom dad wife daughter and friends that i think of as family.Im not putting down on any other tracks but there is no comparison. Me and my dad would get upset from time to time about silly things and we was not the only ones.But overall you cant beat the (MOUNTAIN)5 of 5 Yahoo!
