Location: Dubach, LA | There’s a Sunday run, and I’m thinking about going. Is the parking easy? Where is warmup area? What’s it like to haul in, run, and leave? |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | I ran there some back in the day (2007?/8). Parking wasn't bad then...warm up was small but not bad if folks paid attention. ( Ha!) The run into the arena is a tunnel that you won't see the first barrel until you come into the arena so it's a bit of a quick turn and some horses don't lock onto where they are headed quick enough their first time. But it's a fun place to race. |

| I've ran there quite a bit. Not entered sunday since my pony decided to attempt to cut her foot off last weekend.....
If you get there early, you can get behind the pens to park. Get there late and you will probably park behind Coopers on the concrete. Ive only late entered once and it was a pain getting our big trailer in behind coopers. It can be done though :)
The warm up pen is small, off to the side of the alley. There is a gate person there and you only get 3 calls then they scratch you. So be ready. Also I believe you have to be in full dress code when your in the pen. Im not sure if that goes for warmup also, but I always do just in case.
Its a fun place. The pen is small and the alley is long. One day when my pony decides to stop trying to kill herself I will enter again. Good luck and BUNDLE UP! Its going to be cold! |

Here is an answer to all your questions : parking wasn't bad when I went... pretty easy in and out. (LOCK YOUR STUFF)
I warmed up mostly in a grass lot by my trailer and there is a small warm up area that is usually packed alongside the alley.
It was easy peasy for us when we went... and WWP puts on a GREAT race and if you have never run at Cowtown, ENJOY EVERY MIN! We had an absolute blast there, the nostolgia of that place had us mesmorized :) Have fun... The competition is TOUGH but its a blast! I will be going back... once I can get out of this mud to actually get my horse back in shape lol

Kind of doesn’t answer the question where, but maybe you’re ESL. |

| Parking is easy. Warm up area is very tight. It's a tricky pen to run horses that arent confident because first barrel is blind and in like 2 strides you are turning 2nd. |
