Its hard to see from the picture but there are lots of bumps and jumps out there...I got to take a few laps myself and its very flowing...
Once the clay is packed down hard its going to be an incredible track..

A few people where there Sunday and were very pleased with the track-

Please come out for the warm up tune day!
And if you cant make it Sat please show up for the first race so I can spank on some of you people....

What is the surface of the track going to be like?

Hank, it is super hard pack clay, we ran the packer over it for 2 hours and now with the rain and snow the track has hardened to cement like.
we have decided to let it blue groove for racing.
water on fridays, brooms on race day.
the picture was taken before the packing began...now it is ultra smooth and the rain just keeps helping.
I bought pink tapers, hole shots, fuzzy t's for the rear, bow ties may be good too, not sure yet.
8 rib or edges for front.
