The track obviously needs some tlc. Resurface for sure. As far as the overall size of the track, I think it's pretty good, but I think it might be a little better for the full-size divisions if the track surface was a little wider.

i think Varney should re surface the track and add a back stretch wall cause that could be dangerous. I was there in 2005 and a car flipped off the track in the heat race that i was in right in front of me. it was pretty wild!

Well the current "RUMOUR" is that there will be some track re-construction this coming off season.Likely some corner 4 widening,straightening the front stretch kink,possibly "D" shaping the backstretch to give the track a bit more length,bring it up to a true 1/4 mile.The 23 degree corners WILL remain.gotta luv racing in a soup bowl

yeah i thought it was neat the way your car just came off corner 2 and up you went out swooped out of the corner. But the track ate my tires...thank god they were almost used up anyways. First time I went to Varney I was 4 years old and my dad went out in a heat race to set somebody's car up. He won by half a lap...lol...he always said if you could turn at Varney you could turn better at Barrie or something like that

We've heard that rumour before. We'll see what happens. It is definitely a great track, but it needs smoothing out and the pits are terrible.

the pits aren't that bad but they are a little dusty. Maybe if they put a patch of asphalt in the middle land in the pits so that all the dust didn't fly around. When is the next invitational there anyways if anybody knows

That is the gearing that I used when I ran a mustang a long time ago.I think that is still the preferred gearing.Some have also tried the 3:27 rear gear and/or 4 speed trans.If you are coming from barrie to varney,I would just drop down 1 tire size on the rear tires and you should be good to go.Also expect to be loose,so a couple of different sized tires to change your rear stagger would be advisable.

i ran .345's with a 4 speed last night and was hitting 6200 and 6300....ran pretty competetively...I probably coulda used about 400 more RPM, but no biggy...i was basicaly flat footing it through 1 and 2....that prolly helped RPM

I used to crew on a T.Q midget, we loved to run here 'cause the more stagger we had, the better it was..put lots of gear in it, and run it at 8500-9000 all night long..
