This past Sunday, I ran the oval at Speed zone in Rocky Hill Ct. It is probably the most challenging oval track I have ever raced on. Long narrow straightaways, and very long square corners.

I suggest anyone planning on doing the neot tour, get up there to do some practice beforhand. All in all a great place to race. The guys running it are great, and the carpet is in excellent condition. I had a lot of fun there and can't wait for the tour to make it there. -Jon

Dave is a super guy to deal with. He is open to ideas on how to set it up. Nick and I spoke yesterday breifly on it and hopes to make it down there to test. I hope. A suggestion I made awhile back. That is going to be one hell of a day of racing. Jon did you get a chance to practice the 4 cell SK there? Just wondering since I think the majority will be running 4 cell for the tour correct?

I was unable to test the 4-cell car there due to speed control issues. As far as I know the only sk's on the tour are going to be 4-cell, unless the 6 cell guys all get together an do it. I don't see that happening though.

I was thinking that the hardest parts of the track were the long narrow parts. If he were to make a little shorter and make the poles the outside wall instead of the inside, it would become much more drivable. I understand he doesn't want to disrupt the on-road to much, but maybe he would for the tour race.

You are right though--- great guy and an excellent facility. Pit space may be tight, but we can squeeze together. He has an excellent layout on pit tables, as far as the height and the shelf. He did a real nice job on them.

Next stop on the neot... unfourtunately I won't be able to make it.

yea because your pitching tents or tables-lol

we will be running on the inside of the poles, and a bit shorter on the strights.

I pitch more tents than a 14 year old boy at hooters :dude:

Boy thats going to be tight. how about a tri oval? lol Nick bring that buggy with you when we go to speedzone.

It shouldn't be that bad, if he does the way nick is saying.

Whats a 14 boy doing at a hooters? Where was that when I was 14. LOL

Lets do roll call for this weekend at speedzone. whos in

I'm 99% sure I will be there - but I'd like a confirmation on the layout. After Maximus I'm in the mood for some wide sweeping corners, just like home! I've seen their website, but it's hard to paint a picture for oval - how about some infield specs Mr. Leone? It would definately help out for people that are coming on Sunday.

nick mentioned last night it will be inside the polls but length will be the same. I can say this it will be a paper clip type. Winner will have the first track record there-lol
